Cobra Tie Bar For XKE Rear End Availability ?
Saw this photo and wondered if anyone knows if they are still available.
Thanks, Jimhttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31...psfvhaykit.jpg |
Should be really easy and cheap to get these laser or water cut.
Just find a contact who has items regularly laser or water cut so you don't have to pay the minimum charge. |
Here's one of many sources:

Thanks,
I saw the ones Speedway sells, and even thought about cutting a stencil on my vinyl cutter and sandblasting a piece of aluminum to make it......... Easier to buy it -- if it's available. Jim |
It appears CWI Inc (original fabricators of that link) is defunct.

Other than being pretty nifty looking, does this make improvement?
A few years ago, I helped a friend install a very nice, and pricy, Watts linkage that seemed to make his car just squat and get, on hard acceleration. |
I will be fabricating a rear bracket on my car that will locate from the rear LCA fulcrum shafts and a stainless plate that attaches to the diff side brackets to a vertical bracket at the rear that will attach to a cross member that I welded onto the chassis.
Because of the toe in adjustment on your car, the rear tie bar holes that are pre drilled by CWI in their tie bar may not align with the fulcrum bars on your car. Toe in is set using horse shoe shims behind the diff brackets. What is the rear width measurement of the rear fulcrum bars on your car? I have a CWI tie bar that I won't be using for this reason. I think my idea will add greater support to the rear of the LCA. |

I would look at doing something like this that links the shafts and the brackets together. If you want to stencil it, you can easily do it on the back, but nobody would ever see it. This is just a 1/4" aluminum plate that has been rolled and drilled to match the mounting holes and fulcrum shafts.

Thanks, Guys --
It was just something I thought looked neat, but if it's not seen wouldn't be worth the effort. Jim |
