I know there's a couple of guys on here from Aus/NZ that play with Marinas? A question has been raised on an e-mail group I'm on about stud patterns and a guy from those parts is saying that Marinas have a 4 1/4" (108mm) stud pattern.
Marinas here only ever had 3 3/4" (or 4 1/2" for the commercials) so did they have locally sourced hubs etc giving them a different pattern? Anyone know?

Oz marina's ( may they rot in peace) had two different stud patterns, as parts were used up towards the end of production. I am not sure of the sizes but I do know that I tried to install a new diff assembly in a low mileage almost new one in 1978 and it was different size to the front hubs. In fact the ratio was completely different too,cuasing much argument with the owner,who I reminded that he had just bought a shyte car not a mercedes and if it broke..too bad.. ( <<bad tempered curse word in those days ....too.) were there also 5 stud ones for the six?

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

Hi all, AFAIK, Aussie Marinas were built locally with Ford axles and different front hubs, so 108mm is perfectly possible. NZ Marinas were sent from the UK and should have 3.75" PCD, although some were imported from Oz. South African Marinas were built the same as Oz ones. Oz never got the van/pick-up, though some did migrate to NZ so a 4.5" hub will be out there. Hope thats of use....... PS, still looking for some alloys fror 114.3mm PCD........
