Marina brake upgrade

Post by **Matt** » Wed May 14, 2008 6:58 pm

Theres nothing wrong with my marina brake setup (except the master cylinder) but I have been looking at ways to upgrade...

It looks like MGB disks will physically fit (I am just waiting for someone to get back too me about the diameter between the hub mounting holes) and they are just over an inch larger in diameter. (but I might be wrong)

Obviously these discs wont fit with the standard marina calipers, so Im wondering if anyone has and MGB calipers kicking around that they could measure?

A Minor specialist has developed a vented Ford based kit to suit the Marina, using either 3.75" pcd or 108mm Ford.

I have MGB calipers on my traveller with marina disks.It's a straight swap.

You must be doing some massive braking to need an upgrade!
