Cobra specific tools?
...am finalizing the purchase of my Cobra:D
Occurs to me that if I am to wrench on this beast (baby steps, I'll start with just tightening loose nuts & bolts first) I may need some cobra specific tools. :confused: I have a good collection started with the standard / metric ratchet set, screwdrivers, wrenches etc... New tools on my list include: -Safetywire pliers -Torque wrench(s) -Deep well sockets -? Suggestions? Also, how would I get under this thing without yet investing in a lift (thats down the road a bit). Thanks guys! |
LS,
- Lead hammer - Low profile jack - I decided to buy some new jackstands from Summit with nice Poly-pads - Finishline has a great (fairly inexpensive) canvas bag with a Cobra Logo which is perfect for the trunk (keep cleaning stuff, tire plug kit,hammer, etc.). - Low profile scissor jack for the trunk - Combination of metric and SAE tools - Get one of those big stainless tool boxes that Costco sell. My wife said "whadya gonna open up a repair shop." Also, do a search on CC. There's been some good threads on what people carry in their trunk. Have fun. $$$$$ |
don't forget a passenger with large,,,,,um eyes......the most important tool of all
|
If you have coilovers you might want a couple of spanner wrenches.
|
Plenty of wallet grease... so you can keep opening it.

Bottle opener, cell phone, Fix-a-flat, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench, needle-nose pliers, lead hammer, AAA card

Make sure to try the scissor jack before you need it. I bought a piece-O-sh$t one from Kragens and I couldn't even get one corner of a 2700lb car off the ground!!:confused:

Oops, I guess he's one "tool" everyone can do without.:rolleyes: |
undy, that is where to stage the car at midnight. couple of good burnouts should smooth him over

Duct tape ! :LOL:

AAA flatbed service a must!! I carry some basic tools, but with the car so low and engine area so tight and hot, not much you can do on the side of the road. A big can of tire fix it and a tire repair kit.
