Default Bennett Cobra Help

I am looking for owners and /or knowledge of Bennett Cobras. The Bennett I am referring to is Paul Bennett whose shop was located at 3385 Enterprise Street in Hayward California. The car in particular was the tubular space frame with the independent front/rear suspension with the rear set up for a 9” ford. When Paul closed down it was a mad dash to get all of my pieces, parts, etc. and needless to say I did not get everything because some it had not been fabricated yet. Paul had a lot of this stuff in his head and now that Paul has passed on I need to be able to see how some of the pieces were made/went together.

I had the car in storage for years and now am attempting to start back on it. I have quite a bit of the parts for the car but I do not have all of them. Of special interest would be the rear suspension since a lot of it is not off the shelf stuff.

I am looking for an owner that I could talk to on occasion, who would let me or would be willing to take a lot of pictures or video of their car, suspension and how it all went together, and possible take a measurement or two on occasion.

I am also on the lookout for a set of the modular wheel centers that Paul used on these cars. They were a 6 pin drive knock off. Rumor has it someone has some centers, patterns or knows which shop machined them.

Thanks so much for your time,
