Re: If you own a Marina Auto I need your help

Hi Gordon, what happened to Ken Roy (Kilroy)? That's the sort of thing he would be able to do for you, but I haven't seen him post in a while (Last active: Sat Mar 18, 2023 8:41 pm).

Re: Introducing Myself

'LHD' fitment seems to have been standard on most BL vehicles, certainly seems to have been the case for all Triumphs, the Minor and the MGB.

Re: Introducing Myself

Can confirm the Aussie cars suffered from wipers lifting, fitted the clip-on airfoils that were a thing in the 80s, did help a bit, but not perfect.

Re: Introducing Myself

I thought there were only two wiper arms for Marinas, "sided" to either sweep to the left or right windscreen pillar? Iirc early English cars had "sweep to the right", until BL discovered the wipers lifted at motorway speeds and they swapped to "sweep to the left". So, ...

Re: Tyres

Interesting. In Australia and NZ the standard tyre was 155 x 13 on the fours and 165 x 13 on the six. In NZ they would have been a locally made version of the Dunlop Aquajet or Firestone Cavallino. Not cheap today! https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/155-13/155hr13-dunlop-sp-sport-aquajet.html £1...

Re: Gearboxes

Pretty sure the gearbox is one of the few components imported from the UK, so should be identical. Think the big adaptor plate on the back of the engine mates to the English bellhousing.

Wow, only Australia making that tubing? Nice to know they survived the loss of their car manufacturing industry.

I wonder if you could use one of the Mini adjustable tie rod kits?

Re: Info needed please.

Lucas catalogue says DLB101 non-ballasted for all Marinas, or DLB105 Sports coil. MGBs use the same coil, and Bosch GT40 seems to be fine on them.

Re: 10cwt ute

Might have taken a couple of years to use up the old Mk2 ckd kits before we changed to the Mk3. Didn't use up all the Minor ckd kits until 1975. :o

Pretty sure all NZ utes got the wood trim and tonneau cover.

Re: 10cwt ute

First registered in 1979, so a Mk2 bumper would be correct?

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Does this mean more progress soon? :) Yes, about to order polybushes for the suspension. Father-in-law passed away before Christmas, he was an auto sparky and I get the job of sorting out his garage. Several sets of drawers with electrical bits and bobs. https://oldschool.co.nz/uploads/monthly_2022...
