Just stole a 72 clubbie off Camel. It has hydro suspension, why? Does everyone like my grammer now? (My wife is typing it for me!) |

Because that's what they used then , it's as simple as that really . Mini's started as dry susp in Australia until the mid 60's , then went to hydro till 73 or so , then went back to dry . |

Minivans stayed with dry suspension right through until Oz production ended in 1978. Supposedly it's better for load carrying, but I'm about to convert one to hydro. Why? Because I can, I have heaps of hydro bags, and I want it to ride nice. It's my wife's.

Yeah, I prefer Hydro too. I tried to Hydro thr Moke, but there was nothing for the rear bumpstops to hit, as the inner guard is a different shape. Maybe I'll hydro the Traveller.

Maybe I'll hydro the Traveller. If you want to carry stuff in back, fit comp hydro rear bumpstops. They are Aeon springs....

There was a (Mini?) BMC/Leyland tractor way back when, with a 948cc A series diesel in it. C/R 22.5:1. It had around 16HP I think, not enough to part yer hair. 
Matt Read, TheMiniMan still has a parts list...

The grammar is fine, now you just need to work on the spelling. (grammAR)
