Slabside clock installation

I'm adding two items I overlooked when ordering ERA 3014: the lighter and the clock.

The lighter is easy.

The space where the clock goes is bisected by part of the dash support immediately...

Windshield glass replacement

Peter sent me a lovely replacement glass for my windshield on ERA 3014 so I can repair a stone chip.

The instructions in the ERA manual only address the preassembled frame+glass assembly.

Original leaf-spring Cobras and "model years"

Folks -

I'm aware that Cobras were built in running-changes fashion, without aggregating updates into annual bundles as with mass-market cars.

One other refinement is to get some 1/4" vinyl tubing at the hardware store and slip a 6-12" length over the rigid tube that comes with the can of foam. This will allow you to get farther into the...

Leaking radiator

My radiator in 3014 has developed a leak just below the inlet. System performance is fine, and there's no dramatic discharge of steam or liquid; but after a drive you can smell coolant and hear a...

Hawk HPS pads have come up a couple times upthread.

That's the plan of record. The old screws work, but I've got longer ones coming tomorrow which will accommodate the thicker stackup without sacrificing thread engagement in the hub.

ERA steering wheel hub threads

I completed my car with the ERA-supplied 15" steering wheel, which is held to the hub with six 12-24 flathead screws. Since this wheel does not have a split center, there is no separate top ring -...
