Marcos Maniacs

In fact this wood chassis Marcos is my second Marcos.
I owned the first one (1970 steel chassis) in 1976. When I sold her a year
later( baby coming!), I kept a spare bush from the gearboxe and the original
keyfob (in case!!).
I sold my 3000ML tvr to bought this "new" Marcos. it's not possible to get
new bushes , a friend of mine made new ones in aluminium from my spare. The
main trouble I found on the gearboxe was the impossibility to correctly
engage rear and 3+4 gears. I stripped the all linkage to find missing clips
everywhere. Now it's perfect. I took away the switch inhibitorfor the
overdrive, i have now an overdrive 2nd gear ( i fit a small lamp between the
2 indicators on the panel to remember the overdrive before selecting rear
gear...). I fit a small push button on the steering wheel, it easier to cut
the overdrive between changing of gear , you get greater pleasure and
acceleration).
Be careful with the woodwork around the axle, it's a very important part of
the chassis with a lot of stress ( rory advices not to fit polybushes for
the axle anti tramp bars ecause of the stress to the rear part of the
chassis).
Have you got the "ZODIAC" manual? if you need i may mail the chapter on the
gearboxe and O.V.
