Welcome mnm99,

#1 Take steering wheel center cap off, remove allen screws, put wheel in location you like. Some place it, (largest space between wheel spoke) per gauge layout, tach-vision maybe.

#2 E brake adjustment, as said, main adjustment is under car. Had to remove mine and shorten the threaded part to allow it to travel farther without binding on the threaded part. I have the standard brakes though on mine. Nothing fancy. And even after doing this, I'd not put a lot of FAITH in them holding the car if you have the same setup. I think the E-brake cable routing for this system just binds them to much.

#3 Speedo, check the 45 angle adapter between cable and speedo. I've seen this item freeze up where cable connects to it.

#4 And for what it's worth, not seen anyone mention this. Check the upper rear shock mounting arm to main frame. Bolts that were used to mount these to the frame were small, only 2, and allowed the upper shock mount arm, to rest on the threads. Think you may have said your car had low mileage, so yours shouldn't be to bad yet. Depends on how it's been driven before you though. Performance unlimited ( cobra valley ) may also be the name of company, has a good item for this fix. Little pricy though.... Just took mine and had area welded to it, above and below. Now 4 mounting ( right length bolts ) not resting on any part of the threads.

Many on here know way more than I about the SPF cars. You'll get good advise. And sometimes,,, well sometimes just take it with a grain of salt..

Best wishes, and respect that car, you know the reputation of a COBRA.
