I think they may be escort hubs with cortina calipers mounted on a marina bracket but i am only guessing..can anyone identify them.

what are you like ehh Roy

Might be Midget, what PCD are they?

Well - for obvious reasons - I know nooothing about Minor discs! But I agree - they do look small and the calipers are tiny !

look kinda like my marina disks and calipers shot in the dark...

possibly MkII Escort? with marina caliper mount

It's quite a fancy 'shaped' bracket for the caliper mount - does anyone recognise it ? Also the caliper has 'type 16' - which may be a Ford ref ?

ATE Type 16 claipers were fitted to Ford Cortina's but Girling type 16's were fitted to TR4 - 6. The threads should confirm which one if there are no manufacturer markings.....

These are the Triumph calipers and will have metric threads....

Now, you just had to go too far didn't you,

they look a little like hb/hc viva callipers and dics+propper pcd

Post by **bmcecosse** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:35 am

That's an idea - they would indeed be 4" pcd!

Hi All Cheers for the thoughts.Heres mine a mog wheel wont fit the studs are to close together ,The caliper doesnt look like one i have which is reputed to be from a marina.The caliper mounting bracket looks very like a marina bracket and the hub looks very like the hubs i had on a mk2 escort and i aint got a clue about the disc itself but it looks nothing like a marina one i have could it be of a midget as suggested by the Disc brake Guru ???

Cheers

Wrong stud size for a moggie though.

Dunno how you can judge stud size from these pictures! But - if it doesn't fit Minor wheels - what use is it anyway? Do you have wheels that DO fit the pcd ?

My reply was about the Viva sizes because their wheels have been fitted to Minors in the past and although they have a 4" pcd the studs are a smaller diameter that the Minor ones so not really suitable on safety grounds.
