    The switches are on an aluminum sheet bent 90 degrees and riveted to the dash brace. I can send you a picture.

    ERA mounted them on 755. When I got 838 they just supplied the switches and I copied the way my last car was doen.

    Shoot me your email.

    Hello Grubby -
    I am contacting you about your recent post in Club Cobra about heated seats in your ERA 838. I have ERA821 also with heated seats. I was wondering how ERA placed and mounted the control switches in your car? ERA installed my heated seats but just left the control switches laying loose under the seats.
    Thanks for reply.
    BD

    Grubby nailed it out of the gate in post #2. The cam is one of two problems you have. The second problem is deciding what to believe and what you intend to do. You can spend a lot of time and...

    I knew I had seen you on CC! Thanks for the order, John. BTW, it's actually just a 4.310" bore. Lots of meat left in the block.

    I'll probably take heat for this but I'm a huge fan of T-5's. There isn't a better transmission out there and a built unit is way stronger than it needs to be. There's also lots of setups and parts...

    It's amazing how lighting and the camera change the color, but yep she's dark blue. First inner panels made up and fitted.

    Frankly, it is my firm belief that cars like Cobras and Ford GTs and Ferraris and all those others are truly toys, and that toys should be paid for with cash. Just my belief though. There is an...

    Yeah, I suspect the mold was cut to insert a new center configuration for castings. Does cause a second glance though.

    That is a nice looking FFR. For me, in that price range, there are SPFs, BDRs, and ERAs offering better value and resale-ability. Maybe the cup holders and seat heaters will sell it?

    I would have to agree. It's a very nice car. And the builder may have a reputation, IDK. Very nice interior. Nice top, too. But, it's a carburated 302/T5, solid axle, with 11,000 miles. ...

    Try rotating the crankshaft a bit at a time, or have a friend rotate it while you fiddle with the distributor.
