Fifth bow motors
| Fifth bow motors |
Two DC motors raise and lower the fifth bow via ratchets. The motors are located where the fifth bow is mounted to the soft top mechanism, one on each side of the car. They can be run in both directions by reversing the polarity of the motor connections.
They are supplied with 12 V from the control module when the fifth bow is being operated, from pin 13 (K20) for raising and from pin 14 (K20) when lowering. If the motor becomes blocked, there is a current limiter circuit in the control module. A potentiometer by the right-hand motor detects the position of the fifth bow.
