Thanks for your post, the chassis doesn't need 1" rake, it may help stability at high speeds, but when you take into consideration the shape of the body front of bonnet/windscreen etc that area should help to hold down the front!

Will check out your links, and I am going to have to do something with the pickup points. I see a lot of different Cobras etc apart from JBL have quite short top arms, there is opportunity with the original style chassis to have quite long arms. My chassis rails are 26" apart and my custom alloy radiator is about 1" away from the front/top pickup point, but I can change the shape of the bends on the arm and come in if necessary - more research required!Will check out your links
