Hello All,

thanks to welcome me on that forum
1 received my beautiful Marlin on Tuesday
this Marlin remained a very long time without driving
it is in very good conditions
I washed it yesterday with my son : beautiful , we felt in Love....
when i pushed them (Marlin and my son inside) to the garage,
i make a mistake " hey, son, test the brakes please...."
the Marin stopped immediatly, could seem good news but all the brakes were totaly locked
so, i had to dissassemble front brakes to park the car...

this marlin is based on a 1980 morris marina 1.7l .
brake calipers and brake cylinders must be changed (and i suppose the brake master cylinder..)

I don't think the morris Marina was imported in France, so i need your help to
find a society wich sells brake pieces for Morris Marina.
(i can order them or i will be in london at the end of december)

thanks for your help
have good Marlin rides
thanks for beeing flegmatiq, seeing my poor english

Contact- www.Earlpart ltd they have a good website for Marina parts.

The brake calipers, I would dismantle and clean the pistons with very fine/smooth rubbing paper and refit the pistons back in to the calipers.

The brake master cylinder, you would need to get the information/details of your one as there are diffenernt types/makes. you can order parts/seal kits for your cylinder.

First source of advice and parts for a Morris Marina must be http://www.fastmarinamagazine.com/ It's the unofficial forum of the Morris Marina Owners Club.

Many Marina parts came from Triumph cars. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ can help if you know the part numbers.

I have an archive of many documents stored online at http://www.jiversteve.keepandshare.com this includes a copy of an original BL Marina Workshop Manual.
