"The Spinning Cobra Air CleANER" No more!
For years I like most builders have put up with the oblong Cobra Air Cleaner turning/twisting under load, chipping the hood paint, and haveing to straighten up everytime I lift the hood, well not any more!
A "cheap" and inexspensive absolute fix that works and if seen at all looks good. How many custom changes can a builder brag about both those claims? This is a link to the post of "cpteddies and DV's build." I hope it goes directly to the page but if not it's on page 13/14 (?) of all the posts. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/show...=87654&page=44 Hope this helps others with the same problem! :) DV |
Hey Ed,
Hope you're not still freezing your spheroids off :LOL: Here's the fix that I put in to stop the spinning: http://www.firstcoastcobraclub.com/v....php?f=8&t=371 Note that nothing can fall into the engine if the roll pins fit the carb tightly. It has worked for 20K miles plus! Just another two cents, Tom |
Tom,
First day above freezing since first week of January! Nice... ! Did you see where I went back to cpteddies and changed the flange nuts to regulat nuts and wired them in like the spinners? :) DV |

I took a length of rubber vacuum line and slit it lengthwise then used rubber cement to attach it to the air cleaner base circular edge where it meets the carb. Works great.

I find this method keeps the air cleaner from twisting too...:rolleyes::LOL::D

DV,
I hope some of your solid water goes away with that huge temp rise :eek: We even had some freezing here, but it seems to have gone away now - I'll be driving the Cobra tomorrow to a show. Undy, I do like your method! Tom |

Where do you get one of those dropped bases? |
They're not supposed to spin, huh.
Gee, here I thought they were supposed to spin. I guess I better stop lubricating mine with WD-40.
