I used a Hydroelectric pump(convertible pump)from a 80's mustang
convertible(ebay auction)and that worked just fine,it even works BETTER than
the orignal,like I said Mal Bricklin basically took the complete setup for a
Convertible car and used it on the Bricklin Doors,Just extend the rod from
the ram and if they are the same lengths it should work,boltup should be the
excate as the bricklin setup.
