Thanks Brad but my question was how will you FILL the bottle once installed. It seems to be almost flush under the front guard.

Hi Guye

I will use a small tube and a funnel to fill the washer bottle no problem.

It will probably only be used twice.

First time to see how it works and the second time for the QLD Transport inspection

Cheers

I have had my Cobra on the road for 11 years and have done about 35,000k in it. I took out the washer bottle when I got home from the Transport Inspection and have not put it back since...... Maybe you would need it if you were using it as a daily driver.

Washer bottle?
You need wiper blades too if you have one of them.

We are in the clutches of a manufacturer so its when they arrive I suppose.

Ok ok I get it. Fair enough Brad and everyone else. The washer bottle isn't important :-)

Drivers seat with seat adjuster bar and it works a treat.

Thats about all for the moment the car may be going to be wired next week so i will fill the engine gearbox and diff with fluids and also the washer bottle.

How is everything going together?

Cheers

Dual exhaust ,I had only 1 side off at the time I took the picture.

The exhaust all fits together like a hand in a glove

Hi Laner

There are more headrests but i was handed a complete one and 1 to put the inserts in so it can be bolted to the frame on the top of the seat.

Craig would have ordered 20 or more I suppose its something that every car will have.

Warren the car may be beautiful but if its as nice as your car then I will be very pleased.

Cheers

Brad

Looking really good Brad!

So, with the headrests, it looks like they attach to the seat from the outside/backside, so that if you remove them presumably there won't be two open holes in the top of the seat?

That is right.

Its a lot easier to attach the headrests when the seat is out of the car or moved forward

Cheers

Hi Brad
your car is slowly coming together, Very nice!

On the subject of headrests, have you seen the design AP will be using for the Pace cars?
I was very disappointed with what AP supplied with my Kirkham.
they are like over sized ping pong bats with the back MDF and staples exposed


.
Hope they are different design or they have refined them for the Pace cars

Cheers

LL you obviously have these items in your possession so it's not possible to contradict what you're saying, but to me, as an outsider looking in, I can't for the life of me believe that Craig would have allowed these headrests to be sent to a customer in this unfinished state without some reason.

Obviously something has gone amiss here. Have you contacted Craig for an explanation? Knowing him, he would be mortified that such a slip-up has occurred. There has to be an explanation ... Is the covering some sort of "undercover" awaiting finishing by an upholsterer ??



Or have I just blundered in here and you're taking the pi$$, and it's the underside of a kitchen chair from Ikea?

Hi Don
No unfortunately it is not a joke...I did email Craig and told him I was not happy with them but that email went unanswered as well as many others. I Am on the "do not answer list" for the phone so that is no good either. Maybe you can ask and let me know.
Anyway I don't want to discuss this on brads thread, I was just curious if all headrest were the same design and I am missing the backing or something

Cheers
