Cobraracing out of business?
Trying to buy some stainless spinners/wingnuts. None of their phone numbers seem to work. Anyone know if they are still around?

I think I called a couple of months ago and talked to them . George's son is trying to get things back in stock.

Mike McCluskey would know. I heard Mike was working with Georges son to improve some of the parts for better fitment on original cars.

Tom (George's son - I think that's his name) will answer email.
I went to Tom's shop soon after George passed (wonder what happened to that Polish "Non Kirkham" coupe George was building??? George was quite a character), saw the parts Tom had in stock (which wasn't much) and talked business.
Tom wants to make a go of it and make improvements as Larry mentioned. He's a nice guy but he was pretty concerned about there not being enough business to be worth it.

Well it is a pretty small niche. I have the Cobra Racing steel spinners. Was George, and now Tom, the only source for steel spinners? |

Tom is catching back up. He has invested a ton of time and money into improving fixturing and processes with new machinery. His Dads coupe is now almost finished by another well reputed builder and headed to a new owner. I think he is the only source for steel spinners.

Tried calling all the numbers and none actually ring. One goes straight to fax.
Guess I will look for other places to buy stainless spinners...

Have you emailed? May take a day but he should answer.
You could try a Shelby dealer, too. Prepare for sticker shock.

I think mine were $80 each way back when. Shelby probably wants ten times that now....  |

Go out and look at them and see if they say "COBRA RACING" on the fronts. |

Duh... Can't believe I didn't notice this before - they're Shelby American.

I think George used to manufacture them for Shelby America.
The set I bought from him in 2014 were the Shelby ones. I didn't specify a brand.

Those do look good. What wheels did you end up putting them on? WAW, Trigo?
Need to make sure I end up getting the right ones as well |
