Does anyone know where to get a hydrolastic suspension serviced in the SF bay area? My '65 is riding pretty rough and per the measurement requirement is a little off.

I've called all around the northbay area and keep getting referred to Seven enterprises. Just trying to find someone closer but if I have to go to Sacramento oh well then so be it.

Also if you have and old hydrolastic pump that works and you're willing to sell or loan it out I'd be grateful to hear from you.

Thanks.

 

Shame your accross the pond..I have a 2nd hand pump....a brand new pump cost around £300 theese days.....

 

Not just across the pond but also on the other side. Yes I've seen the pumps on British ebay and a couple look tempting. Also seen the conversion of a grease gun into one.

Since these are become more obscure will probably convert to a shock absorber/coil spring set up. It's a little more that buying a pump but it's the only remedy.

Thanks

 

I think you are very much on the right track with the conversion if you plan to keep the car . . .

 

A big Thanks! to Mike Kearney from 7 Enterprises. Contacted him and he just happened to be racing at Sonoma Raceway (35 miles away) over the weekend and brought their pump to service the suspension. Drove over, met him and a few other Mini racers, 20 minutes later, $40 out of pocket and my suspension rides much smoother.

On another note the cooling system decided to spring a leak on the way home. Could smell the coolant burning on the header and the radiator was almost dry. So now that's the latest thing to fix. Oh well it is a 48 year old radiator

 

you lucked out BIG!!!!!

Maybe you'll get lucky again and discover it is just a hose.
