Default Hunter Cobra

Yes I was concerned about the firewall and brakes. I added quite a bit more fiberglass to both the top of the foot box and the front of the box.

I used Wilwood circle track brake peddles with 2 master cylinders so I can "dial" the brakes front to back.

I also used the Wil wood clutch peddle assy.
I had to cut about 1 1/2 inch out of the peddles to keep them from hitting the floor. They are aluminum and I just welded them back together with "lots" of side filler at the seam.

I also added a plate for the top of the foot box...(see pics)
Along with making my own bracket for the peddles...this gave me a large sandwich area for the assembly. I can detect no flexing with this setup.

I used a gas peddle from Speedway Motors..I don't remember the brand I was just looking for a cable version with a small push peddle.

Roll Bar: I used the brackets in the kit and welded them to the frame. I then drilled thur the brackets and the bar. It is tricky to reach the bolts thru the bar but I found a way.

Sense you are asking I also had to replace all 4 shocks. the ones he gave me had no compression resistance. This is to supposed to give a soft ride but all I found was that I was bouncing off the bump stops all the time. Also the 9 inch shocks at the rear were at full extension at ride height this gave to up shocking action.
I replaced the rears with 14" and replaced the rear springs with 275 lbs instead of the 350 that I received.. the 350's were ok for the front.
