Newbie with a GForce Cobra

[AdamF]

Thanks to you all. Really looking forward to having a look at the manual for the car and I think you're right... attending the local club sounds like the right way to go as well.

As it happens, I've just uploaded a few pics into my gallery... feel free to comment.

Looks like the blog part of the website isn't working at the moment but I'm keeping notes and will start a new thread and document the build as I go.

Thanks again.

Adam.

To gain more boot space I lowered my standard tank fitment. I didn't have to cut a hole in the boot floor for partial tank penetration as the GF manual suggests. Though I did cut a hole for access to service the fuel pump and so forth. I too also had the tank modified for an in tank BA fuel pump somewhat like yours.

My gallery doesn't show the lowering too well but does show the modification to the seat belt post. I wanted twin rollbar hoops and in boot seat belt fitting. This gives more room in the cabin floor for seat positioning which I think is one of the GForces weak design points.

If you want twin hoops you need to add an inner passenger rollbar mount location and for any serious track work a third leg and mount point. All this best done of course whilst the body is off.

After tank and handbrake fitting you will be close to body on for engine install. This then gives you an idea of how little engine bay room you will have left to work in.

Keep sending updates and we can all keep on commenting.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Adam. I've found it a great place to learn and share ideas and meet interesting people. Keep us posted with you build. We love build threads and pictures. The build is more than half the fun of the Cobra in my opinion. Cheers
