Early Marina Brake Parts

Hi all,

As I am new to the world of very early Marina's, I'm not sure what brake parts will fit, as on ebay listings for shoes and wheel cylinders, they all say either 1972-1973 or 1973-1975. My question is, do I need to find parts that say 1971 or will these fit my car?

Many thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

You don't say the year of the manufacture of your car. Josh is the early car expert, I expect that he will be along shortly.

Hi Chris,

I know the car was sold on the 1st October 1971 but don't know when it was made. The chassis number is MA4S9S 40029M if that helps.

Thanks,

Alex

They won't fit, you need proper early shoes (71-72) and wheel cylinders which are the same as Anglia 105E and Triumph Heralds.

Wheel cylinders: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-OF-4-TRIU ... Sw4SlV7pZd

There's a choice of shoes:

Brake master will probably be Girling .7
Clutch master will be the same as everything else, the slave cylinder should be the one inch type with a 6 1/2 inch clutch

Rear wheel cylinders will be the 17.5 diameter ones as fitted to disc/drum cars from 1972-1980.

I might have the wheel cylinders in my parts bin if Anglia (as thats my other car) no brake shoes from memory though..

I think I have some spare shoes here mate. Just cover the postage and you can have them.

Rear cylinders on mine are dolomite sprint.
Shoes escort mk1.

Okay let me double check and ill let thee know. I converted my anglia to discs so cylinders no good to me now.

Will all be different if yours still has the automatic adjusters

Yes indeed.
I've yet to remove the drums since fitting these.
I'd prefer the later from a practical point.
But then some of the originality would go.
However, my brakes have never inspired confidence.... or am I just used to modern motor brakes.
My escorts seem a bit dead compared to how I remember them back in the day.

Alex, these are the shoes I have. Looking at the eBay links Josh put up they look different so not sure if they're any good though I'm certain they came from my 71' when I fitted new drums. Nothing wrong with these shoes, I had a new set at the time so fitted them.
Anyone confirm these are early front shoes?
