A miracle....Slowy's cobra update

[stephen low]

I can essentially mark today as the transition of project focus.

First storage...but of course it had to be cobra related



Can walk on the surface but have to wait till the weekend before anything heavy goes in.

So a fibreglass bonnet doesn't count, does it???

But then it allows for this........



My first work on the cobra in a months - woo hoo!

The braided feeder lines run each side into quite a tight location as can be seen. I needed Marty's intervention to develop a nice little tool I could use to tighten the connections.

Typically though I've discovered a simple fix to this after the event.

If I cut a slot into the upright that is hindering the access, that is both wide and long enough to slide an open ended spanner onto the anodised fitting, this would simplify things greatly.

Not going to happen for now, maybe the next time the radiator is out.

Anyway this work followed shortening of the passenger side front braid leading into the oil cooler. Not bad for my first hour and a bit back on the car.

Hopefully I'll be able to post more significant progress on parts refitting soon.

Cheers
