Winter “21” changes
Replaced hardened fuel lines with cotton wrapped fuel lines.
Also added gold seal clamps via my friend John Bessey.
All I need now is to replace the hardened rear tires.
Not sure I will not go to poly glass style or even Dunlop style traded tires??
Any views on the rear tires?
Current billboards on back power union up front.
Possible rear to Polyglass H or Dunlop?

The Dunlop tires sure look great! (Post-Historics) I don't have any experience with them to comment though. Wish I did!

Jeff,
For a street car I think the Dunlops would work well. They may also give you a little more latitude with driving on those cold New Hampshire days.

Always liked the look of the Dunlop and lets face it the only see's action once annually on a track so for street they may be the pic.....
I also considered avon's however thats back to almost race. I used to use the G6 on the rear until one rainy day when we alomost landed in a morge.
The Billboards are nice on the rear, just big it seems.
The Powercushions up front are way better than expected and I run those on the AC, they just dont have enough bite for the rear.
Not familiar at all with the Polyglass type. Just thought it may play well with the Powercushions up front.

Girling CR up front.......
Girling ORA rears.......
Using BG rotors, very nice pieces.
I’ll post step by step as I begin next weekend.
Already want to thank Jim for his insight, Craig for ORA’s, Ross for the bracket and Cobra Automotive (Curt and Paul) for help with rebuilds and tips.
Will be a nice upgrade

Jeff What uprights do you have? I would have thought yours would be a straight bolt on like an original . I have rotors from Tom Petrus. They also seem to be of very good quality. I also got new Girling Cr and Ora's from Crosthwaite and Gardiner. I think all my stuff will bolt on like an original with no drilling ,tapping , and no extra brackets.
Post plenty of picture of your install.

I'll post step by step as I progress forward.
Direct bolt on the rear, fronts use a bracket however I am not that far yet.
I am also told there were slight differences in the originals so that too may require a few head scratch's.
My uprights were HiTech 289 units as I recall. (Never sure though as stuff is always passed around)
Either way I'll get them on as I have lots of Cobra assembly "make it fit experience". 
Starting this weekend.... Brace yourself for TMI |

So tomorrow will be the day we start. I assume since I have the Shelby calipers that I have the separate steering arm / caliper bracket.
Could be wrong so we will see.
Planning fronts first then tackle the rears.
Awaiting rebuilt CR’s from Cobra Automotive.
Will post pics soon.
Here is what we hope is there........

Thank you for the Brackets if that is the direction I take forward.

Ok, today was a tear apart and figure out direction.
BG Rotors are ready for fitment, thank you Cobra Automotive.
Initial set up is a modern rotor and PBR calipers.
All to be removed.
Once apart it’s clear that there are two options either original steering arm or use brackets supplied by Ross.
Caliper alignment may dictate this decision.
Calipers still at Cobra Automotive getting new seals.
