Obtained this off 'e' bay
Never seen or heard of a hydraulic system for the Mini (can be adapted for fitment to the Minor) before.
I bought it for its interest more than its use.
It comprises two hydraulic cylinders (master and slave) with connecting pipe between and various brackets to suit. The slave cylinder acts indirectly on the throttle spindle. The master cylinder is operated by the existing accelerator pedal.
The hydraulic throttle is supposed to alleviate sticking and jerky carb operation.

Re: Hydraulic throttle
An interesting find. The cable was always a cheap way of control. The best setup is those cars which have a rod linkage and organ type accelerator pedal for maximum comfort on long journeys.
