Why the need to change? When properly set up and adjusted mine could put you through the windscreen.

If you look around page 7 of my thread in readers rides you will see how I fitted dual circuit disc brakes using a beetle master cylinder and corsa discs / calipers with a servo on the front circuit, it took a bit of machining and fabrication but it works a treat.

Wasn't a marina disc setup the go-to upgrade back in the day?
Assuming you can find any of course!

They do a kit based on marina brakes. Thats what i had on mine. It isn't worth faffing with old marina bits for the cost of the kit. It's got custom hubs so you retain 4x4" too.
Wont help you with dual circuit tho. That's the sticking point. You will need to mod a dual master cylinder in somehow which is probably more hassle than its worth.
Remote servo can be done easily too but I cant see the point either personally.

I did it not long ago. Got a kit from eBay from a guy in Yorkshire. Uses KA calipers. The hardest thing is taking the master cylinder out to remove top hat seal. Worked great for a £350 investment.

I use£ to fit Riley 1500 front drums, back in the day. They bolt straight onto the backplate, same pcd, same slave cylinder - just much larger shoes/ drums. Accomplished in about 30 mins! Very powerful in a lightweight v8 Minor.
A long, long time ago, but I’ll wager there are still a few floating around unwanted out there!

Some Marinas had dual circuit setup Ie a split circuit master cylinder. Some didn’t that assumes you are using the servo
and master as part of the setup.
Not sure how easy it is to get Marina brake consumables these days. Something more ubiquitous might be a better bet long term

If it has a ECU it's complicated :)

Riley 1.5 and Wolseley 1500 front drums with back plates are a great conversion if you can find any but keep your eyes open they do turn up and i think TR7 rear drums are the same as internal parts, marina parts are now harder to find and with some conversions beware you can end up with different PCD front and rear, have a look on this link and site www.mmoc.org.uk/Messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=59406 |
