where can I find hydrolastic parts for a mk2?

Hi,
I have just changed a rear sphere (it is a second hand
part) because a big leak on the hose and would like to know if it is possible to buy new suspension parts .
I have another little leak with the "valve" and I have
to pump up often. If someone can help.

have you tried www.minispares.com?

They carry an awful lot of parts, even for the older minis.

or try British Motor heritage, they now have all the original toolig for new parts IIRC:

Or change it to 'dry' which will improve its handling and eliminate all the potential unreliability. OK, so I'm a bit biased from a problem in a rally back in 1967! Bloody Hydro Mini.

I have 2 hydrolastics. One I have turned to dry and the other which I am making a "Twinnysprint" out of. If you want any of my old hydro stuff which is totally fine, you are welcome to come to SE Cornwall and remove it from my property. I have loads of bits.

Dry coversions can involve unseen costs. Mine went about 50% over budget, radius arms, bearings, subframes, bits that I thought were good being shot.

It's a hell of a car now.

Hi,
many thanks for the info, I try new valve and think perhaps a dry conversion is the best solution but I wait because it's a big job, as soon as my vixen is on the road.
