Car is looking fantastic Glen, When do you envisage motor and gearbox will be in?
Can I ask what diameter master cylinders you are using for front and rear brakes and also clutch?
Cheers

Richard....I finally got around to it.
For master cylinder sizing (street use), I have 5/8" (16mm) for the front circuit and the rear m/cyl at 3/4" (19mm)
Clutch m/cyl size is 3/4"
Note: wheels are 15", discs sized accordingly
Cheers!

Thanks Glen,
That's reassuring as those are exactly the same as what I ended up with for my application. The Wilwood help line suggested I used 7/8" for rears and 3/4" for fronts but I found brake pedal force required was excessive. Just wanted to compare with someone else. I know there are other variables like pedal ratio's and calliper piston sizes to consider as well. My clutch feel and travel is excellent with the 3/4" master.
Cheers
Richard

Yes, the 3/4" and 7/8" F/R sizes are more for competition use rather than road use.
Cheers,
Glen

Greetings!
Steering wheel height is described elsewhere, so will just post the pictures here to keep the build thread 'happy' 
Here's a pic of the spacers that determine the height of the steering wheel....
And here's the view ahead over the steering wheel....
Visibility of the speedo and tacho is better than I had expected, and access (to driver's seat) is not affected significantly
Cheers!
Glen

Glen,
Nice to see that this may work. As with most things in life, it is a fine balance between what would be perfect, what we want, what's practical, and what is realistic. The goal is recognizing that there is a balance and not getting stuck.
Take care,
Jim

Jim, that describes the decisions made regarding a Cobra replica - and particularly one that you build yourself  - extremely well
Cheers!
