Still looking for some spare bags
Surely some of you out there have replaced your Hydrolastic set up and have bags sitting doing nothing
PM me if you have any spare to sell

I can spare a couple, but they are from a Mini Deluxe, not Cooper S.
These days a good bag is one that works, S or not!

be sure your bags are a matched set, particularly left to right or they handle like a pig. If you have an S one on one side and a deluxe one on the other, you will feel it dip on the deluxe side on every bump

Cooper S/GT bags on front and Mini K/Deluxe on the rear work fine. I have had mine like this for 20 years.
An advantage is it sits more level front to rear.

The bag that blew was the front right
i replaced it with a 21A2008 bag and the car rides OK
I might put the other 2008 bag in the left front to even it out
the one i took out i couldn't read the number very well
It was there but faint and looked like 21A2721 D69
Work that one out

By 1969, front displacers on Ss were 21A2012 with 1 silver band on the hose end and maybe on the body.
When you say it "blew" - if it blew at either end of the hose, it can be repaired and reused.
