Messed with smal details today
1) Mounted fliud cans of footbox 2) Tried to get rear suspension in place, looks easier than it is..... 3) Added the Vintage Weber fittings http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9837 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9836 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9835 |
Most Excellent!

Nice banjos! Need me some o' them!
|
Looking good!
As a side note, it appears the union washers are reversed. The fiber washer should be on the inside.... |
Actually you would be right...............
Everything is finger tight until I get all assorted parts to avoid extra gasket needs. Nice eye..............:eek: Hyde, will email you details............... |

I Forgot just how Handsome Nick is LOL

The price just went up on that job, we need a better model for the job ;-) Interesting to note 3 different lengths of rear control arms for the 289's I have seen. Shelby/Ken Miles comp, Hi Tech and the new Shelby ones. There's not a lot of options on spring length for the rears. Jeff finished up with the Ken Miles comp ones, perfect for the style of his build huh?!
|
Nick The plans I have call for a spring length of 41 1/2 when the spring is flat. The rear lower a arm is 12 3/8 center to center length. These as the numbers for the rear of the car. Mark

Ah Grasshopper, the elusive Cobra has many measurements and standards were not very consistant. Hand made car = hand made variance...... :CRY:
|
Thanks Mark, that jives with what I have.
|
Fitting................. :rolleyes:
Needed to get a bit more length on the lower A-arm as I am running big tires versus the thin wire wheel type. A-arm work was a success and now fully adjustable with big tires.... http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9885 Enots cap, now it is ready to be installed....... http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9884 Off to the next issue... :LOL: |
LeMans covers are back............ :p
Went with powder coat color that was close to Cad Plating. The plating thing was too complicated from here..... http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=9911 I think they look great! Keith at Rapid Finishing Inc did a great job................. Rapid Finishing Inc kohalloran@rapidfinishing.com 43 Simon Street Nashua, NH 03060 |
Very nice! I had mine powder coated, didn't like em'. Spray painted them.. Oh well, they look ok. Yours, very nice!
|
Your work continues to amaze me! Well done as usual!
|
Dont even ask how much.................

If it makes you feel any worse, I think I paid $275 back in 1998 for mine.
