Marcos Maniacs

The later cars, mainly the 3 liter were delivered with a Salisbury 7HA axle. 
The same as the Morgan for the same period and also some of the early Jags 
and Aston Martins. Unfortunately these are unobtainable now and parts are 
difficult to source. I eventually tracked down a set of bearings and shims 
to rebuild mine but will probably change it for a BTR axle from Australia. 
This is the Dana version and has the advantage of readily available parts. 
It will have to be modified to receive the Marcos rear trailing arms but I 
plan to set up a jig for that purpose.

If anyone is interested I plan to import a couple in the new year.
