As long as were going into the details of the 1100 series, lets not forget a couple more badge clones- the Riley and (I think) the Wosley 1100's. Not a real common car in the US these days, due in la

You reminded me of me Dad's first ever car, a 1959 (I think) Wolsley 1500. (Me Dad didn't need a car until later in life. Although he drove Army lorries at times during WW2 he didn't pass his driving

Ok, can anyone clue me in as to what a hydroelastic suspension is?

Ok, can anyone clue me in as to what a hydroelastic suspension is? Since no one else has leaped to the fore, I'll give it a shot. The HydroLastic suspension was part of Alec Issigonis' design of the

Scott Fisher writes about the wet HydroLastic suspension: I do remember seeing, in either an old AutoWeek or Road&Track, an artcile (oops - article) about an engineer working on active-type suspensio

Scott's explanation of the HydroLastic suspension was very complete with all the details. If I remember correctly, the connection in the hydro part was not diagonal but straight back. The reason for

No, the hydrolastic only links from front to rear; it doesn't cross the car. In fact, crossing over would be a detriment to cornering: inside rear wheel lifts causing the outside front wheel to dip

Two more MG1100 notes: first, parking on an incline and holding with the parking brake demonstrates the hydroelastic suspension; the car will tend to settle out toward level (as much as possible) as

Well, by now you've seen some of the other responses, so I'll just try to correct some of the errors and some further info. The Hydrolastic (this is the trademark spelling) suspension links the fron

George, you say that a glycol mix is used in wet suspensions. I'm not sure it was always so. I remember a magazine ad for either the MG 1100, or more likely, Austin America, that spoke of alcohol. It

Yep, alcohol (with an anticorrosive agent) was the original substance, but everyone around here just uses anti-freeze since that's what is stored in our garages... -- George Emery - via FidoNet node
