Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my 'amateur' question. I LOVE this forum for a) all the help everyone gives on what are often obvious things to the more experienced builder b) all the grumpy old f&rts who are on it (like me!!) with an opinion about EVERYTHING c) the true feeling of 'family' in everyone who owns (or wants to own) one of these magnificent cars.

I shortened the push rod by a mere 1/8" today, and it appears to have corrected the problem. I drove it round our track quite a few times today, brought the engine up to operating temperatures and used the brakes a LOT to test it, and by the end of the run, it was coasting along with no front wheel binding at all. Longer drive tomorrow to give it a real test, but once again, it appears that Club Cobra Forum contributors really DO have all the answers!

Thanks folks

Glyn
