congrats Mike i am very happy for you .
Now as long as you dont decide to pull the engine out to fix the leak it should all be well.
I must say you are a typical cobra builder in that you make it go well before you can stop it .
I would have hated to see the consequences if you had it in gear gave it a rev and the pivot fell off the clutch lever . it would have turned you cobra and your house into demolition yard. .
Anyway Mike well done and will see you at shelby fest in you cobra .
Regards oz

Too right! at $65 a bottle I'll be recycling the coolant. I'll buy a nice clean oil drain pan to drop it into and then use your strain it through a stocking trick before putting it back in.

Oz, I've got all the bits there to make it stop they just aren't connected yet. It was something I was working on whilst doing the wiring but I just couldn't wait. I had to drop it off the axle stands and fire it up.

It was a bit of a nervous ride rolling out of the work shop. I wasn't sure what to expect. The coper/ceramic clutch behaved itself nicely and didn't mind slipping a bit as I eased the pedal out. I reckon I could have used a 3/4" Clutch MC rather than the 7/8" and it would have worked fine too. Might be something to change in the future for an even lighter clutch pedal.

Cheers
