While I'm waiting for the hinges, I bought materials to fabricate the lower radiator mount. I cut some .080 mild steel flat stock to length, drilled the mounting holes, rounded the ends, then carefully measured and welded the tabs. Drilled holes in the stubs on the radiator for 1/2" hitch pins. Assembled with rubber grommets, the mount, flat washers, and secured with hitch pins.
I'll cut the bar to length and weld on mounting flanges once I'm certain the position of the radiator. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psf321dd57.jpg |
It's finally beginning to look like a real car

Got my Blue Thunder intake manifold from the machine shop where they port matched and blended the individual runners

Bill - I'm envious! You will end up with a very nice FIA replica there.
Cheers, Glen |
Your build looks great, congrats on your accomplishments.

Looking fantastic, keep up the good work!! Can't wait to see it altogether.

I sent you a private email.

After all that you need the right alternator bracket..... Looks like GT350 set up...
Looks fantastic, awaiting more updates. :MECOOL: |
289 with Webers. Makes you want to drive around without the hood.
|
Just a photo of loose hardware near open Webers makes me nervous! :eek: .... Joking aside, she's looking good Bill :cool:.
|
Got my FIA water/fuel inlet from Jim Inglese today, along with gaskets, reproduction fuel line clamps, banjo fittings, and correct water hose clamps.

Awesome. Call Racewhere for correct alternator bracket. You've come this far might as well complete the mission. |
Nice looking parts!

I would recognize that fuel log / water pipe anywhere :cool:
I want to give Dan Case credit here as he worked with me on both of these brass / steel fuel inlet banjo projects.... |
I haven't purchased the rubber fuel hose yet. Is it just plain ol' rubber fuel hose that I can get at Napa or Autozone?

Here is a photo of our alternator bracket, we supply original parts and concours level reproductions of a number of 289 Cobra related products.....carb linkage, oil coolers, upper radiator hose couplings (with SW bung), etc.

Does the alt bracket work in a era slabside
|
It should.
This is a 289 Cobra only part. |
