    Hi there - I am based in Essex, England and have been following your 289 FIA build. Is this for your own enjoyment or do you plan to sell and move to another project? Merry Christmas!

    Hello, Sir

    I have a question to ask you. Where did you get the Shelby Cobra shifter boot with the sqaure opening from? I know that the shifter you are using came from Unique Performance GT500E's but you are using it on your Shelby Cobra. I would just like to know where can I buy one too. I am only looking for the actual shifter boot with the trim.

    Please contact me as soon as possible.

    Thank You for your time!

    -Carlos

    Torque values on the suspension bolts are MUCH less.

    Communications is a difficult topic and I believe Tom Kirkham's brain is out of gear on this one.

    Nyloc bolts are rarely torqued to stretch the bolt via that reference... Heck the suspension bolts I'm thinking of are 5/8" and are a hinge pin.

    As you tighten, continue to check for binding or watch the pull to see that nothing angles.

    As you car is a mongrel in some ways, i.e. not built at the factory, be really careful and stop if anything seems amiss. I had one car where the 5/8" bolt was "dragging" into the hole, the guy forced on in... turns out the hole wasn't clearanced and we had a heck of a time ever gettting it back out. Rear inside A-arm Pivot bolt, ugh.

    I'm thinking about 20 ft-lbs, it doesn't really matter, just enough to draw it up and hold the bolt from spinning.

    rgb@exact427.com if you want more info, my brain is in gear today, thanks for the coffee!

    Roger

    I forgot how particular, yet diverse everyone is when it comes to cobra replicas and their opinion of what engine belongs vs what doesn't. Always good to hear lots of opinions.
