Gregg,
You cant see it in the pics, but i have laminated rubber strip to the inside of the strap, its not the usual channel type so it doesn't wrap over the edge, but is flush with strap edge. |
Awesome work! Coming along a treat.
|
I agree, very nice work...very inspiring and love the detail with the tank straps.....Love it when stuff like this gets posted, Thank you.
|
Not much to report in on this month other than trial fitting the Header tank i had made.
I'm pretty happy with the "Old Skool" look. I have a week off over Easter, I plan to finish off my headers, strip and rebuild the engine loom, and plumb the power steering. Cheers to all.

im just awe struck its a work of art and you should be well pleased with it .
cheers dean |
Hey Dave.
What ever happened to that eightstack intake? Not that I have anything against your 2x4 set up. :D |
Hey Dimis,
I very very nearly bought the Kinsler 8TB Cross Ram unit January last year when i was in the states, In fact I specifically went to Michigan to look through the factory at the invitation from Brian H. However, while touring the states, i dragged the family to Denbeste Racing up near San Fran (you got to see this place), opening day of the new Shelby factory/showroom in LV, Backdraft in Florida, and decided I liked the "old skool" look, but with all the mod cons of current technology so i went with this theme. I still love the look of that Kinsler piece of art thou. dave |
Double post, sorry folks
|
The 2x 4bbl is what all the cool kids are running Dave ;)

Hi all,
I'm still tinkering on the CR every chance i get. Finished off all the cooling system plumbing, the headers are finished and i'm currently building the roll bar with an Aussie Mike special, (perfect bend). I got the tyres fitted and balanced to the Dragways last time i was home and the chassis is now on the floor for the first time in over 4 years. Another weekend on the rollbar and then its on with the body http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psxxe3hr6v.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psjfb1spby.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psodwdrhzn.jpg cheers Dave |
It was a long time between updates and I was wondering how this was going.
Looks good, the pusher fans are at one on these builds and the 2 x 4 setup look old school cool. |
Well done Dave.
I always like the Go Cart look on these Cobras. Shame to put a body on :-) Wheels and stance look great. cheers Gregg |
just a question with the throttle bodies are they drive by wire or cable if drive by wire i would love a set up the same as that for my ls
|
Deano,
I have both on the go. At the moment its cable, but I am in the process of making a DBW mount which forms part of the rear quad spacer. I have it designed, and just need a bit of time in the shed to machine it up. Dave http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4rvlzim5.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psp8swqfqk.jpg Cheers |
awesome i will def be following your progress on this .ive been trying to think how to make a top mount throttle body work with dbw but there does not appear to be anything on the market that i can find to do the job .
|
The FBW would be great for throttle control, I have a progressive linkage to the front throttle body to delay its opening until about 20%.
Great work as always Dave! |
G'Day Gav.
I also designed up a progressive adjustable cable cam, with a cable from the pedal to a 1:1 ratio pulley that is locked to another eccentric lobe that pulls another cable to the throttle bodies. At the moment its maximum reduction is 30% at zero pull to 100% at 60deg, and full open at full pedal. Its adjustable almost back to 1:1 by rotating the Cam and lobe. I couldn't find anything on the market like this, I will probable have a go at making it. Dave http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psh19hx4hv.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psj08upmcb.jpg Its designed to suit a Lokar throttle cable end. |
Jeezus!!! You are taking things to the next level Dave!
|
Very nice work Dave. Reminds me of the cam setups on a compound hunting bow.
The early LS1 cable throttle bodies had an eccentric pulley on them to give a more progressive action. Is that solid works you are using? I inquired about buying it a while back but it's about $9K but you can get the student version for about $150. Cheers |
Mike, I use sketchup ver8, its free and really quick to model up parts, if i want to do serious model for CNC, or print, then i've been using Inventor, my son Tom has a student copy.
Ive played with Solidworks its similar to inventor, both have a big learning curve though. |
