Hi All

Been lurking for a while, but decided to join. Reside in South Africa.
Am looking at doing a scratch build, but just going to go through all threads and check what works and what everyone deems to be a good build process.

Want to find a good set of plans and instructions then will once I start my own build will post progress in my own build thread.
Plus a picture of my other passion

Cheers
Dylan

I'm sure you are aware of the scratch build section. You might do some digging in there.

Thanks *13*, I have been going through every thread on there in the mean time till I can start my build.

That is a nice motorcycle. As for the build we have a member on our site that he and his father just finished the Factory Five build course and he said they learned a lot from it and have ordered their kit. There are a couple of guys in South Africa that hunt up old or unfinished Cobras and restore and finish them and they could probably help you a lot if you are close enough to each other to communicate.

I don't know about South Africa, but there are some places where it is nearly impossible to get a scratch build approved and registered. Kits from a recognized manufacturer with a supplied MSO, OTOH, seem far more acceptable to the bureaucrats who have to approve them.

YMMV

I agree. Maybe before starting on a scratch build, speak to your registration authorities and check that a completed scratch build can be registered.

I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and there would be many, many more hoops to jump through if I was trying to register a scratch build here.

Very best wishes with whatever you end up doing.

Cheers,
Glen

Thanks everyone, will go visit our local authorities on Monday and see if it is possible for me to do a scratch build.
