Beautiful. Have you decided whether you will pad your roll bar or leave it bare?:confused:
|
Thanks Patrick,
I am working on a unobtrusive, minimalist pad rig, it’s just not done yet. For me the 1.5” hoop is an essential part of the look of the car. So I am trying not to stray too far. The goal being sufficient protection, but almost invisible, and removable. I will post pics when its finished. Jason |
Jason,
Noticing the FIA style roll bar support... Is this new? If so, let's see some photos of the details! Looks like it is coming along just fine, hopefully better than ever. Jim Kellogg |
Hey Jim,
Yes Its new, It bolts the the passenger footwell frame rail by the bell-housing. It has a slight kink near the sholder area to give me a little more clearance. I Like it alot. Ill shoot a couple of pics of the bar today when I get to the shop. Jason |
Jason, you gonna tell us about your "extractors" yet?
Steve |
Those 'extractors' are nice, but have a little 'Aston Martin" flavor to me.

Here is a couple of shots of the bar and the vents.
Vents: I got some stainless steel wire mesh (304) in a couple of different sizes from McMaster-Carr. Ended up using the 8x8 mesh (.020 wire dia. .100x100 opening) made a wooden buck and formed the mesh over it. I’m having a pair of mounting rings laser cut from .125 thick sheet stock. Planning on a bunch of (tiny) tack welds. We will see if that works out. Then it will be riveted to the underside of the hood. (You can see the template for the mounting ring on the passenger floor) You can also see where we cut and moved the inner wheel-well for tire clearance (pass side) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...4005_small.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d..._003_small.jpg |
That's going to be slick man!

Grommets
What rollbar grommets did you use? They look great!
|
Thanks guys,
PDUB, Those are my original Superformance roll bar grommets. The crappy part of this story is, I tried to order a new set but was just told by Dave at SPF that they don’t have them and the very best part, he has no idea when they will be receiving them again.... Really? I would think that would be and easy and inexpensive part to buy several thousand of….but what do I know…. Jason |

Very nice - I like the color. Vintage appearing.
|
Thanks Dan,
It’s a very low (almost none) metallic silver, like an early Mercedes. In some light it looks like glossy primer! LOL Jason |
Regarding the roll bar grommets, Did the originals actually have them? From many of the photos I’ve seen I don’t believe so. Perhaps something on the underside for weatherproofing the trunk area would look good too?
