Hi all,

Has anyone got any parts for a front telescopic front conversion. After market or Ital would be great. Or I remeber a site/link that someone had posted a set of drawings for the conversion but can't seem to find it any more.
Anyway, money waiting if anyone can help.

Many thanks in ...

Many thanks

I have had a couple of people say there no longer available but they could get master cylinders ????

Seasons greetings all,

Can anyone advise if master cylinder repair kits/seals are available for a late, tandem, Girling master cylinder. The ones on the plastic car are "stuck" and I think releasing them will only damage them.

Also I dont know if it's the cold or my age, but for every job I've ...

Lokks a pig of a job to remove the pivot shaft. When you take the top plate off, you can see it has been chiseled to between the pivots to stop it pulling out. I would imagine you would have to clean this off first before you pulled the shaft out, but then how do you re-secure the shaft to stop it ...

Thanks for the reply's. I have two of them now filled with 15w50 synthetic oil at the moment, so this sounds somewhere in between the 30w and 75-90w of the gear oil. Might try a lighter oil in one of the other pairs and see how much difference it makes to the resistance.
Just a bit further, can ...

Hi, can anyone recomend the grade/type of oil used in front lever arm shox's.
I have three set's of shox's for the Kit-Car but they all feel different, some stiff in one direction , some notchy. So I decided to strip and check some. The oil coming out was thick and lumpy, so after a good bath in ...

Thanks for the info. Will give you a call Elouse when I get 5 mins and the hour isn't too late. Many thanks for the offer of the swap. May take you up on the offer, would need to check the ride hight though with the body back on.

Can anyone advise on rear spring rating's.
Just Building up the rear end on the "plastic" marina and I'm a little concerned over the stiffness of the spring's. These are a 3-leaf springs and was wondering if the 2 leaf was ony softer (seen some on e-bay) or does anyone want to swap (these are like ...

Hi, Have listed the Hawthorn in the garage under 1.8 t.c convertible, sorry to the owners of the real convertibles but it seemed the most fitting.
Hope you like.Let me know. Would love to resurect my 1.3 saloon but I'm a mechanic by trade and rubbish with rust and body work. Maybe one day. But at ...

Hi thanks to all for the warm welcome.
I drive a white van for a living, the wife own's a 4x4 and play with a kitcar which at some point caused the demise of a Marina. I'm not use to being accepted by anyone normally :cry: .
The car I'm trying to resurect is a Pilgrim Hawthorn, a sort-of copy of ...

PS can I have a Jonny Reb' flag now

Thanks, looks like I'm a good guy then. I was only using the term "scum" for you to choose to call me personaly- kitcar owner, not to call anyone else. When I speak to fellow owners, we feel you might not understand or accept us. Just wanted to see how you would accept a marina Kit car owner.
I was ...

Larry,
sorry, please read the post carefully. I was asking a question to see how I would be viewed, as a Kit car owner, by a group of classic car owners. AT NO POINT HAVE I CALLED ANYONY SCUM. To do so would be calling myself!!!!!!
But thanks for the freindly reply to a firt time post.

Hi, trying to resurect an old Marina kit car conversion built some years ago. Car has a fabricated chassis and body but esentialy everything else is a Marina. Keep looking at the forum with interest as a lot still relates to this car.
So my question is this :- are kit car owners Marina murdering ...
