On late Dextas and Super Dextas, the firewall and plate were reduced.

Its nearly at the stage now where its usable, I do think I have a problem with the lift arms, I think they aren't going up fully, the lever has to be brought up past the stop to get them to their highest point, I need to do a bit more research on it to be honest.
You most likely have a worn cam follower pin in the hydraulic control, there are a few post on this topic:

Not a massive job but lifting the hydraulic top off is a two man job or use a hoist. The replacement pin should be hardened steel, some use a off cut of a drill bit, when we did the job we got silver steel, cut to size then hardened under heat
Does the lift hold up or does it drop quite fast? You may want to look at some other bits in the hydraulics with the lid off, there is a filter in there too.
