Hello group, I need to replace the brake flexi hose from the master cylinder. My Marcos model is 1970 factory built Ford 3L Chassis number 3M/5736. I think that the brake cylinder is a Girling. Can anybody tell me were I can buy the replacement. Another small thing that needs fixing is the front headlamp Bezels. The head lamps are the square shape with single lamp. Can anybody tell me were i can buy these. I am based in UK Best regards Vic

Vic, You could try heritage spares, but a cheaper, quicker and better solution (if originality isn't your credo) is to get one made up from aeroquip hosing. I had to do this a few years back and was astonished by the increased feel through the brake pedal. Best £12 I ever spent on a car, I can assure you.

Thank you for your reply, it is very much appreciated. I have a reply from Marcos Heritage, who will make the part for me. However, they are unable to help with the headlamp bezlers. Regards Vic.

Vic, Are you having a rubber one made or "Aeroquip"?? I've just rebuilt my clutch and brake master cyls and replaced my brake lines with "Aeroquip" from Rory. The only weak link is the hose you speak of. By the way, my clutch and brake master cyls are both Girling 3/4" bores. I found Volvo repair kits that have the proper parts. The clutch slave cyl is a Girling 7/8" bore and I got that kit from Scimitar International but they are no longer doing any mail business.

Don, Do you happen to know what the part numbers are for the Volvo repair kits for the clutch and brake master cylinders? If so, please post them. Thanks, Paul Dransfield 3 litre Volvo

Hi Don, I have just received a nice shiny new flexi hose from Roy at Marcos Heritage. It looks like its made out of weave steel. Great Vic

Hi All, I just wanted to let everyone know that I have made another site update. Please check out the "mystery restoration" that Don Lattimer sent. It is very cool! I have also changed the registry a little so that it is easier to see which cars might be for sale and I added some more cars. Some of you might notice a new section called "Racing". It isn't near complete yet, but I will have some very cool information there in the near future, so keep checking in! I didn't get very many votes last time on the photo gallery issue, so please speak up! Should it go, or should it stay? Thanks, Jeff #8052 1984 Ford V6 GT

I believe the photo gallery is one of the best features of the web site. We may need to consider setting a limit of the number of beauty photos per owner though. At a minimum we need to have one photo of each member's car, preferably with the owner as many of us are likely to never actually meet each other. It would also be nice to have restoration photos, especially those showing the framework and other bits that can't be seen in a fully assembled car. These may need to be saved off-line and added when a member puts in a request. Michael Rogers 1969 1600 GT

Are we on the same page here?? We have the "photos" section on this site and the "photos" section on Jeff's site. If you look on the "photos" page on this site, down in the lower right-hand corner it says we've used 81% of our alloted 30MB. Might be nice to have a picture(s) of each persons car on this site because this site seems to be what people find first. Mike's idea sounds good. That way all "repairs", etc. would be in their own folders or page. More suggestions??

While some of the photos could easily be removed (IMHO) there are some that would be nice to have in a archive of some sort. Perhaps we need the photo gallery afterall will albums devoted to things like "maintaince", "repairs", "modifications", "articles" etc. As our membership grows so will our need for additional photo space.

Hi All, I have some ideas to address our picture dilemma. We can set these guidelines: Everyone gets one shot of their car on the Yahoo site. All other pictures can be sent to me and I will post them on the Maniacs web-site. Technical photos will get "aged" out after 1 month and then get posted into separate sections on the Maniac's site. That was my original intention for the Maniac's Photo Gallery to begin with, but it currently needs some sorting to be more effective and enjoyable. Sound OK to everyone??? Jeff #8052 1984 Ford V6 GT
2002-02-12 by Jeff Caraway
Oh. and I will also remove those pictures that don't work. There are some that seem to have broken links and don't actually come up when you click on them.
