8.8" rear end nose weight
The rear end I have installed in my frame came with an iron weight that attached at the nose near where the u-joint attaches.
It weighs about 12 pounds. I am guessing it helps keep the nose of the pumpkin down under acceleration, or helps absorb some shock from a fast start. Any thoughts on whether I should use it or lose it? |
Took it off. Doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose on a Cobra other than add weight.

I heard some talk awhile ago about it absorbing harmonic vibrations. Took mine off 4 years ago. So far no vibrations. Just a big, ugly paperweight.

Re 8.8 weight
I have ran mine since I built it in 1994 without that weight and have never had any kind of problem.

DO NOT REMOVE THAT WEIGHT.
Ok, I'm kidding. It is is nothing but a harmonic dampener. You can actually buy a new one from some Mustang vendors. Remove it. It's nothing but weight. -steve in nj- |
