Nick - I say it to anyone that will listen - a lift-off or tilt conversion is the best modification that can be done to a Cobra. This is the one mod that makes the car easier to work one than anything else. The final straw for me was when I was changing the timing cover on my last Cobra. Leaning over the guards, paranoid about scratching them, for hours on end killed my back. Now, If I want to to any work inside the engine bay, I just pull the front off and sit on the top of the front tyre. Easy !

Scott (OZVENOM) did some mods to mine, and also changed his Harrison so that he could either tilt or remove his front. I would guess that he'd also recommend the mod.

DV's cars are cutting edge works of art. You need more than a few hours to absorb all of the mods that Ed made to the DVII, and they're just the mods that you can see !!! On any other car, a tilt front is a big deal. On DVII, it's just to be expected, that's the kind of car it is.

Last point - Denis Bedford (from DRB) made a tilt front DRB2000 a while back. It was at Sanctuary Cove this morning. Al (NASSTY) might have taken some photos of it. I know he had what looked like one serious bit of photographical gear hanging around his neck, so you never know. I bet DRB could integrate the tilt-front if you asked them. If not, Scott could do it for you before it's shipped out of Qld.
