Re: [MarcosManiacs] 65 Rear Marcos Breaks

2011-12-07 by Donny Lang

Steve,
I sounds like you have one of the rare Marcos with the IRS rear suspension? Most of the rest of us have a solid rear axle, usually from a Cortina ( at least for late '60s early '70s). If you have the IRS, there probably aren't may out there folks that know much about brake swaps because there were so few cars with this feature.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] 65 Rear Marcos Breaks

Hi Guys,

My son and I just started restoring a 1965 Marcos and I was wondering has anyone ever changed the rear inboard drum brakes to inboard disk brakes. Prior to owning the car we weren’t familiar too much with it, but after having it the past three years we’re trying to learn as much as possible, and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone had any knowledge to pass along. We live in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA if anyone is located in the upstate area I would like to buy you a cup of coffee.

Thanks Again!

Steve
