High Level Stop Light

Fuel Pump and Main Fuel Filter

Charcoal Filter

Well that's about it for today ,I ran the Charcoal Filter lines to the filler tube on the fuel tank and now waiting for the floor panel so I run the breather and Charcoal filter lines through a grommet in the floor panel, then this will be another finished part of the build.

I have to make a 90 degree bracket for a a rock filter (with Don's help) and mount it to the rear chassis of the car.

Seats and runners arrive next week i am told so I can't wait.

Brackets for the dash are coming soon.

Cheers

Brad

Brad, I can see it now. Your face muscles will be hurting from the ear to ear grin when you rumble in to Hope Island for the first time. I can't wait!

Hi Craig,

You can bet your life savings and ALL your cars on the fact that when I drive my Cobra to the Qld Cobra Club Breakfast for the first time the only bigger grin in the country will be on the face of the clown at the entrance to Lunar Park in Sydney.

Closely followed by a certain Don March when I throw him the keys and tell him to go for a drive.

Its that close that I can almost smell it.

Seats in next week and I expect to have all the fuel lines finished tomorrow.

I will post pictures if I can get good ones.

I am waiting on a sealing panel for the floor of the boot so I can finish finish putting in the filler and return petrol lines.

Cheers

Brad

And I am having a cold beer today.

Fuel Line from the Pump to the Main Filter

Main Fuel Line to the Rock Filter then to the Pump.

Return Fuel Line to the Tank

Inner Guard Sealing Panel

This should take stop even more heat from coming into the cabin.

I am waiting for the 2 adapters for the fuel rails and the return lines as well as a small fitting to connect the suction side to the fuel pump to the tank.

Exhaust system next week i hope and its off to be Ceramic coated .

Its all coming together now and Craig has been working really hard to get the things that I need to finish the build.

Holidays have finished today so I have to work next week, I may be able to get Friday off we will see.

Cheers

Brad

More pics to show all the little things that have been done.

Hey Brad, I saw you car the other day and its coming along well. The more I look the more that I see and there are so many great things that AP have designed in all aspects of the build.

The seatbelt bezel, seats, hinges, covers, inside panels, plates, brackets, mounts..... oh it just goes on.

More photos and share for those not fortunate to see up close.

Those seats will have to be the roomiest seats ever in a cobra, the AP design has everything covered.

Hi Brad, why the hole in the seat base. I have just received my seats too, but waiting on the seat runners and trampolines, so am interested to know.

Also can you post a photo of your radiator and fittings so I can see how it is mounted?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard

The radiator mounts are fixed through rubber grommets.

The hole in the seat base is to reduce weight (only kidding) its to allow more travel when you hit a bump on the road so you wont damage your most sensitive parts hahaha.

I didn't take any piccies today so I will take heaps on Tuesday

Cheers

Brad

Brad might be thinking of installing a "Portaloo"

All that power....in a light weight Cobra....He'll need SOMETHING until he learns how to drive it !!

It's actually where the seat "Trampoline" goes, so that it's soft under ya bum, rather than a solid seat.
