Manual to Power Conversion

Short answer: Yes — you can convert a manual top to power. You’ll need the pump, cylinders, hose kit, a dash switch, and the wiring. Year One’s catalog has a factory diagram. (Note: the frame’s side rails and links also differ between manual and power — see the “Manual vs Power Top Parts” FAQ — so many find swapping the whole frame easier than adding cylinders to a manual frame.)
