Live axle is good , 4 bar link is good , panhard is Bad --they induce rear steer right when you don't want it , Watts link is good

Agreed, the Watts link is the way to go for most modern cars that have a greater suspension travel, however an AC Cobra would only traverse through it's total moment about 25-30mm from full compression to total rebound, hence the pan hard rod is a good compromise for this set up. Trust me, those 16" wide wheels do not scrub and they only have 15mm clearance from the chassis, and 7mm from the body..
It's all in the geometry..
Cheers

Thanks Dave, it's been almost 18 months of modifications and problem solving to get the GT40 to where it is now.. I'm happy with it though as it produces 650HP at the flywheel and over 950Nm of torque at 4600+
Attached a photo at the dyno..
That was a fun day.. Not!!

Thanks spookypt, however I would rather take my 545ci P5 LTD to the Nats. It runs a gearvendors OD/UD system as well, so killer gear selection. The 295 MT ET's don't stand a chance on that thing.. LOL

10" of dish.. That's more than most wheels have in total width. |

Great cars!
Love the GT40, surely more rear tyre needed!
I think your LTD would have trouble in the corners at Wakefield Park - Spook is talking about the Cobra Nationals rather than Summernats.
Cheers,
Ben

I think new tyres for the GT40 would be a good start LOL..
I missed the point on what Spook was saying, but fully agree the LTD would be out of it's comfort zone at the Cobra Nationals..

Iccars icc-001
Hi guys,
as I am new to this forum I'm not sure if this should be a new thread or not but I thought I would share a couple of photos of my own AC Cobra build, and over time keep updating posts to reflect my progress.
Please advise if this would be better done as a new thread?
Regards
Wil

I can only speak for myself, but I think it is great if a manufacturer runs his/her own build thread it has to be a good thing.

Tks Boxhead,
I am not sure how many posts I have to have up before I can post my own thread?
Is there a min. number of posts to start my own thread.

Has anyone heard anything about Component Cars in WA as the website is down, and they have been removed from the FFR website as well?
