Going slower at ShelbyFest after fitting a nice fresh - and bigger engine (how embarrassment
) - led me to plan a series of works leading up the Nationals - mainly focused on getting power to the ground and turning corners.
(Safety Improvements can be next year and as it turns out I won't be going
)
Apart from the mods shown above I was also going to address the front-end geometry (still have a copy of the info you passed on Rebel) and add an adjustable brake proportioning valve.
The valve is because the front (jag four pot) brakes seem to be doing the majority of the work
(nicely renovated jag grabbers)
I know that the rears are doing something because I (well...) had to replace the pads before ShelbyFest - Its just that I cant feel they they're doing anything in the first place - so I don't know if they're fading or not.
I don't seem to suffer any noticeable deterioration in braking overall. I use the nice red or green pads if that's of any use.
As for 69 it has a nice ying-yang symmetry (dare I say 'feel') about it but I thought I'd go a year in which the cobra was produced and Brian Wilson has the 66 plastered on his
