- full set of Marcos Owners Club magazines (from no 1 in 1973 almost to date). The first 5 volumes in MOC brown binders. Hundreds of mags, a phenomenal source of marcos information. Also a set of Club Marcos International magazines.  Best offer.

Hello Steve,

I have a few issues of Torque and other MOC magazines and am always interested in acquiring more on the rare occasions they come up for sale. Any idea what you want for them? I am currently working on putting a 1600 GT wood chassis #5201 back together after about 30 years apart. Its quite the adventure.

Hi Larry,

 

We think we figured it out using your photos and some drawings that Rory sent me.  The subframe seems to be the right dimensions, but the brackets for the suspension have been welded by a previous owner too far forward.  The rear lower bracket should be 2” forward of the rear of the frame – mine is at least 2.5”.  The front bracket seems to be at least .75” too far forward.  How and why someone would do this is beyond me its so obviously wrong since you can’t turn the wheels left or right without jamming up against the headlight bucket.  Hopefully when everything is replaced according to spec, it will all fit.  I’ll let you know.

 

Danny

Thank, Danny.
If there is anything I can do, just ask.
By the way, did the glass rear screen fit the opening in the car? I have one that I bought a couple years ago, and it did not fit well in either car.

Best Regards, 
Larry
