We replaced the original bearing because it really didn't have enough travel and the bearing beat out over time.

Retail on these 427 Rear lower control arms is $500 each. I will let these go for $350 each.

We have 3 sets of these.
Price Reduced!!! $250 EACH

$195 EACH


Okay David, I just can't resist at this price. I'll take a left and a right of these. Have to check with a friend, I may need another set....Checked with a friend building a Shelby 4000 chassis and he needs a set so make that 2 sets. My box keeps getting bigger....

Garage Art!

This is a raw forging of a steering arm from our factory in Poland. Will fit an original 289 or 427 Cobra when machined. We have sold many of these over the years. This is one of the first forging dies we ever made in Poland.

This part is now machined as part of our billet suspension.

We have 20 of these.

16 SOLD. FOUND 10 MORE FOR A TOTAL OF 30

$10

UPDATE

Serious Garage Art!

Below are ORIGINAL NOS Shelby bearings and races made by Timken. We bought these from Mark Hefte many years ago. He bought out the last of Shelby's parts when they closed their doors.

Notice there are two part numbers on the boxes. The first number is the Timken number. The second number that begins with S1CS is the Shelby American number.

S1 stands for a small block car. Also, as there are many parts that are identical between the 289 and 427 Cobra, the S1 could also stand for an original 427 car. The CS stands for Cobra, Shelby.

All of the below bearings are new, in the box. They are all bearings for the differential. We probably have 10 of each bearing or race.

We have sold these on ebay for $200/bearing.
Today, $50 per bearing.
$25 per bearing

Below are pictures of the different bearings we have. Please specify which part number you want when ordering from among the different bearings.

All bearing boxes look like this:



Here are the part numbers on the boxes.

One of my sons at the piano recital this morning playing Mozart's K. 545

After the recital I gave him a big smile and told him, "That was beautiful. You know, you now can play better than I can. I am so proud of you!"

Found another roll of vinyl. There are probably 8 yards on this roll.


This is the vinyl we used on our first cars to cover the rear wheel well panels, the rear bulkhead, and the dash.

56 inches wide

$25

The vinyl sold to Three Peaks. We don't have any steel side pipes on sale--only our stainless side pipes are on sale. We do have steel head tubes in this sale (the ones that connect inside the body).

Let me know if you find anything on freight Down Under.

Thanks!

David
