With the light weight doors and the remove-ability of the cage I would add a door bar just under the upper sill of the doorskin. I wouldn't be surprised if the tech inspector says the same thing. The two holes in the rear deck look for some electrical box plugs. They just snap in and some are already chrome.
Hello FasterPatrick,
I have concidered that as as soon as I put the door skin on, it looked a litte dangerous, I actually bent one in 1/2 inch tube to see how it would work.
Hi Phil
the cage is looking good, how do you like your Cobra race seat do you know what model # it is? I am looking for one that will fit in the cockpit with out any mods to the body (not mine).
I had the cage pre tech inspected today by the Andra officals.
All ok and the paper work is done, I do however need to add another tube along the top of the door, like Fasterpatrick has mentioned.
I will get that fitted tomorrow and now I can get it painted and clean things up.
Applied for my Andra licence and now will prep the car for the full inspection, the car is basically ok, just need to install longer wheel studs in the rear and get some more safety stuff, race suit and arm restraints.
I will try and get the diff out over easter for a ratio change and will reco CV joints as they would now be the weak link.
Looking forward to getting back on the drag strip.
good to see you are not taking the racing too seriously
Looks like I'll be seeing a lot of the rear end of your car at Winton

PHIL.....Don't fall for it Phil....He's trying to suck you in to a false sense of security.
He did it to me at the Nationals, and FLOGGED me by 7/100ths of a second, when all along he was telling me how I was going to be SOOO much quicker than he was.
He's evil, and must be stopped.
I must admit it gives you a much greater sense of security.
I have been warned about you Queenslanders, slow in the pits but fast on the track.
Oh yeah, I trust you Wazza, really I do
I love to design and tinker and most of how the car has developed is because of this reason alone. If I am going to race I just want to keep safe, I am not too fussed about killing myself but as Karen is also pushing hard in the car I dont think I could live with myself if she was hurt in the car I built.
Last weekend when I was working in Sydney I called in to say hello to the Mizzis and had a great afternoon. Phil Neall was there too and we spent all afternoon in the shed talking Cobras. It was a great time mout for me from my busy time working interstate.
Phil's Cobra is a work of art and the cage is even better in the flesh. It's something we should all be seriously thinking about when we are on the track.
Anyway while I was there Phil showed us how to get in and out of this Cobra with the monkey bars fitted. I happened to have my camera handy.
Check it out
Cheers
