According to BMC and the Society of Automotive Engineers, the burst pressure of the Hydro Bags was over 2000 psi. Why would that be?

I wonder what the peak Hydro Pressure was upon landing?



Extreme, yes, but the comps dept did use, without any noted failure, the hydro system for many years.

_________________

The hydro pressure in that car on landing would be zero. It was a dry suspension car.

Well done GT, Another quality post from the experts expert.

Mmmmm....do you even know what hydrolastic suspension lools like?

Here's an under bonnet shot of that car



so, what are the hydrolastic displacer pipes there for? This car was built in 1967, right in the thick of the hydro days.

You're alway good for a laugh. Merry Christmas

Thanks Mark for the photo.

FAARK OATH!

According to Browning, in his book, yeap those photos ^ are of the same hydro car. You can check for yourself, I know you have his book. Page 117. The 1966 Acropolis car was a different car, just the same rego, as you know, they awapped these from car to car to avoid taxes.




.......that's almost as funny as he is. I've tried that but he won't have it.
