The operation of the convertible top on my '63 Bird has become slower and slower. I decided today that it was high time to get it serviced. I took the car to my 'regular' mechanic to have the fluid level in the hydraulic pump reservoir checked and the system checked for any leaks.

After we raised the deck lid and removed the spare tire, we were surprised to find that we could not find the pump reservoir. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know my car better! We then removed the rear seat....still no reservoir.

When I had the car restored in 1986, my 'top' man made a new top and installed the new hydraulics. Unfortunately, I was not present and did not learn how everything worked and WHERE THE HYDRAULIC PUMP RESERVOIR IS LOCATED.

I am writing to ask a more knowledgable person to inform me about the location of the reservoir so I can get this 'Bird back on the road.
Thanks,
Michael
