The accelerator pump slave cylinder was in a pretty bad way but as I said earlier, I had purchased a new old stock one at a Corowa Swim-In auction.

There is a thick rubber hose connecting the slave cylinder to the supply pipe. This is to allow for engine vibrations which if it was solid, could work harden and fracture the supply pipe. The slave cylinder bracket bolts onto two of the manifold studs. I had two different types of brackets so I think the now unused one is from either a later or an earlier Lynx.

What a beauty. It still had the hydraulic oil inside 70 years later as I found out the hard way when it sprayed all down my front.

An interesting brass notice still attached after all these saying to use Brake Fluid only.

The thick rubber pipe was still attached to the new pump and in brand new condition.
