Default Update 7/4/11

Update:

Finally got round to progressing a bit on the cobra.

Made the trans mount, after getting the sign off the engineer
Made the engine mounts, which I have to redo.
So engine is in position so driveshaft etc can be made
Front end minus shockers is in
Wheels are due on the weekend, that I can use to roll around
Finished the calcs for the brake system, awaiting signoff from Engineer
Looking at Floor mount wilwood pedal with dual 3/4" MC and Wilwood 1.75 four pots on the front, standard jag rear.
Still trimming loom down, extracting old Ford systems from the loom.

When I built mine the engineer insisted I use all the same brake components on the rolling gear and similar sized stuff on the actuating gear. I used Jag callipers and Ford actuators ( the ford bits were the same dimensions ) The RTA still requested a major brake test AND all dimensions of the components of ALL the brake bits. I passed ...eventually. I have heard that Willwood brakes aren't smiled upon by the 'authorities'. Check this out before you go any further. Willwoods don't have weather seals. good luck !
