Suspension part identification
 
Hi Folks.
I am some way through an original type scratch build and struggling with some detail parts.
Can anyone identify the various parts and sizes in the picture below?
I know what they do and where they go but having trouble tracking them down locally.

I suspect that the threaded sleeve and adjusting nuts are proprietary to the original Cobra. Have you tried AC in Germany? Kirkham might have those pieces too.

Acton Custom

Think he reproduces them new...................

Dave are they metric sizes or standard? Check the OD 1-5/8" and the ID 1" housing thickness 3/4".

Many thanks for the replies.

I should have mentioned, the picture is from the net, it is not from me.
These are parts that I need to get/make but I do not have dimensions for them or know if they are "Off the shelf" items.
I am building a Mk3 427, so Measurements will be in inches.
I know the bolt is 5/8" dia.
But I don't know the diameter or thread on the sleeve, the size of the O rings or what the special nuts are called.

Hi Nick.
Are those numbers the dimensions of the original (1960s) bearing?

The originals bearings are NLA. The only parts you can buy are the bearings and o-rings. The rest are made for this application. I have them available.I

Thanks all.

Control arm bearing
 
Nic, does that spherical bearing use a "cracked" outer race?

mickmate 12-18-2013 02:03 PM

Hi Bruce, yes it does. I thought that was a flaw when I first saw it but then realised it's the only way to get it in there.
