Yeah!
I would love any tech material on the car I can get.
I have been trying to collect any info I can get
So far I have a wiring diagram and some fuel cell info.
Patrickt has a good idea but I have an original 427 Cobra manual and I think that would be much closer I am sure he will have another opinion/disagreement on that

At a minimum, the following should be detailed. But it's never going to get done; somebody might start it, but it'll turn in to a half-ass job because they'll realize how difficult it is and then turn their attentions elsewhere... like cultivating their grilling skills, fishing, working on a tan, etc.

Wow! in alphabetical order too..

Anyway, a lot of those things are covered in the original manual. Such as carpets and tonneu covers.

But, you could source out a some of it also. Just getting tech info from Baer on the brakes would cover that and all of the tech from fuelsafe for the fuel cell, pickups and sending units. Maybe SA could help fill in the gaps such as were to find seat and guage sources.
It would be really nice to map out and solve all of the suspension tech info. I know its very similar to the original but info on the whole upright issues and what springs and shocks have been used.

Default Not to hijack the thread...

... but I remember a nicely detailed thread, with many photos, from last year that was supposed to become the manual for the Kirkham. Did a true Kirkham manual ever see the light of day?

Kirkham does have that build thread as their form of a manual, with plenty of pics, as well as a thread for questions pertaining to the build thread, but a complete written manual was never finished. Parts of it are posted on their website by section, with many sections listed with no information.

Thanks, the fact that the Kirkhams, as meticulous as they are, have not produced a manual shows you how difficult a quality job really is. The ERA manual is almost on a par with the GM Service Manuals I have. No offense, but I don't think a CSX manual of any decent quality is going to come about unless somebody that really knows their cars, has built them, has an engineering degree and CAD experience, is hired and paid well to do it. Otherwise, the lure of grilling up some burgers while casually fishing and working on one's tan is going to step to the forefront....
