Not Ranked
Petek,
You are on the right track, but we do NOT want to become a governing agency by any means. I wouldn't dream of telling one of our manufacturers that his frame is built wrong, that the steel he uses is inadequate, his door hinges need fixed, etc.
You might laugh at "copper brakes lines", but I have seen it in my own shop! That has just now been added to our list. This is what we want to do, simply make the Cobra of your choice safer.
Please comment on the suggestions fellas. It is so important to all of us!
Proper gas caps
Door latches that will not simply pop open by bumping them or having your car twist on an autocross course
Columns that will collapse - BOTH ways.
Neutral safety switch - Clutch, trans., dash I.e, momentary switch
Fuel cut-off switch
Proper mounted seats
Proper mounted seatbelts
All brake lines will be solid steel core - flex steel lines will only be used for caliber connections only and will be kept as short as possible.
For example: We just unearthed this last year in our shop: ALL Calibers WILL be connected by a DOT approved flex line AND NOT HARD PLUMBED! Yes, believe it or not, we had a car in our shop with less than 30 miles on it, brand new and the builder had plumbed the rear calibers directly to the "hard lines"! The lines were already starting to show fatigue!
WE NEED THIS, we really really do!
Please add your ideas, approve ours, slam dunk ours. My flame suit is old and well used.
DV...yup, we really do need this!
