i agree with the problems with earthing & bulb holders etc, or bad insulation which can blow fuses
but unless youv'e had bad bulbs, they tend to blow because of to high voltage, pointing to regulator in alternator as memtioned
by 1972tc coupe...thats my best guess

Re: What to do about ancient brake calipers?
I rebuilt the callipers first time on Gabby [ marina] but went the spitfire way 4 years later when they needed doing again.
bought new from david manners b'ham , only slight adjustment to brake pipes & much cheaper than Big Red.
very satisfied.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Spent about ten minutes gently twisting, pushing and pulling and it eventually came free. After that I put a drop of oil on each side of the key before putting it back in the barr...
