Some early Minis have ‘Hydrolastic’ or ‘wet’ suspensions. This means that they ride on four bags filled with pressurised fluid akin to antifreeze. As the systems age they are prone to lose pressure and so require pumping up. Nowadays your neighbourhood garage might no longer be equipped to do this! Thus, you, your mechanic, or your club may want to invest in this unique Hydrolastic Suspension Pump to keep the ‘wet’ cars on the road.
This Mini Spares pump will also pump up Metro hydrogas units as well as any car fitted with hydrolastic units.
Order as TOOL01 at £180.00 inc. VAT complete with pressure guage.
Fluid is available as MORRIS05
Turning to the car itself, new hydrolastic units have been unavailable for years. Thankfully, Mini Spares now offers reconditioned units that have been taken back to bare metal, etch primed/painted and had new hoses fitted then rig tested.
Order as 21A2008 at £216.00 inc. VAT
Sold on an exchange basis (£150+vat surcharge).
(Please note these are non S units however, S units can also be reconditioned if necessary).
