Well, Leon...I figured out how to get to my messages....figured out my memory was way worse than I thought, it was not power brakes you asked about, but power steering. My replica has straight old manual rack and pinion steering, Flaming River, and no power assist, so, sorry, I can't help you with the front dress issues on the power steering pump.

Tire sizes are: 235-60 R15 front, 295-50 R15 rear. The front tires stick out of the flares ever so slightly...but the rear tires ride comfortably inside the rear fenders. Wheels are Cragar DragStars, not sure of width or backspacing. I figure I will need to go down to 275-50's on the rear when these need to be replaced, 295's are very hard to find in 50 series these days.

BTW...my rear suspension is parallel 4-bar with coilovers...if you would like photos I can get them today, will be replacing the bushings in the panhard rod today.

Cheers!

Hi! Like David, I did not know I had visitor messages. If I can figure out how to find them again I will take the photos you mentioned...however, my replica does not have power brakes, just good old 4-wheel manual discs. They work well but take quite a bit of pedal pressure, so a bake bleed is in the works soon. I just returned from 3 months absence, started the Cobra only 15 minutes ago for the first time this year. Cranked 3 seconds and started right up, I was not even in the cabin, just standing by the door.

When I get the photos I will send Photobucket links to you via PM...hope that works!

Cheers!

I wonder if its possible for you to send me a picture of your power steering bracketry? I received my CAW with the power steering pump in the trunk. I'm trying to mount it and cant seem to get anything to line up. I'm guessing that our cars are similar, i hope. Thank you Leon Arbeene Hingham, Ma. I'm also wondering if you received my last message about your top setup. I took pictures and posted them to my album.
