According to the Ozzy Parts Book, up to chassis nos. YMA2S2 27868 & YKG 2960 & YMA2S2 500, they have the same Part Nos.

After those body nos. they have an Ozzy Part No. (AYA Prefix), but I doubt there'd be any difference between them.

I am pretty sure that they won't fit straight in.
They moved the location of the pipes when they added the channels in the floor in about 67.

Hello Morris, good to see you (sincerely).

Post would be the killer here if they are pre-bent. There would be no other object in the world more odd to post than a set of hydro lines.


I made my own up using steel bundy tube purchased from ABS (3/8"??, or 5/16th???? brake line) and used a double flaring tool and a pipe bender picked up on eBay for about 40 dollars the pair. The pipe cost about 80 ish I think from memory, but I had to buy two lengths of the stuff as it was not sold off the roll, and the lengths were shorter than was needed to make two sides.

The ends look like a simple flare, but are in fact a double flare folded back in on itself. Easy enough with the double flare tool.

John Smidt at Mini King has told me he can get them made.

according to their website, postage for the lines and another four very small items calculated to be around $100 AUD.

Still cheaper to get them rezinced if they aren't rusted out or damaged

Hi Mick, If the tubing off-cut that you gave me was remnants from the hydro tubing, then yes it was 3/8".

Just buy some steel bundy tubing, a flaring tool and a cheap bender. A lot quicker and easier than waiting for the wrong ones to arrive from England.

Places like Pirtek or Enzed may also be able to help as a lot of hydraulics on machinery uses similar steel tubing.
