Just discovered my right hand hydro ram has broken loose from its mount. Can't figure out how it should be. Does anyone have a pic of it mounted?? Also the limit switch connections snapped off. The small brass screws will need to be replaced. Any idea as to the size and thread? Any help is appreciated.

 

Hey Dr. I have a 98 XK8 I can take pictures from (parting out) can you PM me a picture (or post here) of what is broken and I can take a pic of mine?

 

The cylinder that raises the roof located behind the passenger seat. I need to see how it is mounted so I can repair mine. Thanks for your help.

 

DR, the mount is really a couple of pins, so the ram can pivot. Check the three screws on the plate that holds the outer pin. As for the electrical connection.
Can you get the little screw out? It's a torx fitting, very small as you can see.

I'll do some dismantling this afternoon and see what I can find.
