>I'm hoping to finally start work restoring my 1970 3L volvo powered Marcos GT.  The brakes are all shot.  I probably need to do a full reco on the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders.  What car were these sourced from?  Was it a Triumph of some description, like a spitfire?  I'm hoping to work out what I need and order the parts in time for Christmas.

I don't plan to race it, so I'm tempted to find a good 164 and put it back to original.  The original engine got binned by the previous owner when a rod went through the block.
