65 Rear Marcos Breaks

2011-12-06 by Steven G. Kamen, AIF

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,

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.

Thanks for answering us after reading a few other responses we have decided
to leave it as it was built.
