As a last alternative give me my money back.

If unsuccessful the last step would be to lawyer up in a very public way. At the end of the day I believe any mechanical issue can be rectified given enough money and time.

The only suggestion that I could give someone who is going to contract with a company to build them a Cobra would be to contractually hold back 10% that would be used to sort out these sorts of issues for the first 1,000 mile or so. I knew to do this but given the reputation of the company I let it slip, so shame on me.
Agreed ....it is time for the consumers of this hobby to demand the quality and expertise they pay for.

I would also recomend consumers take the time to ask the qualifications of the shop, whom is performing the installs and what acreditations if any do they have (ASE etc.)
