Break cooling ducts 289 FIA
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I received today one pair break cooling ducts for my 289 FIA Cobra. I ordered them at Cobra Restorers USA. Now I'm not sure if they are right. The left one is not looking like the right one!!:CRY: 1. For my opinion the left is perfect . (See picture) 2. But I think on the right the mouth is to chubby. And there is also a dent on it! (See picture) Can anybody explain me if this is right (like it should be) or one is a bad make!!!!:confused: :confused: MANY thanks ALF :confused: |

Please see other picture on my Gallery!!
MANY thanks for the HELP!!! ALF |
I bought mine from Bill Kemper - renouned for quality and accurate parts. They sure look like mirrors of each other to me.
They are sitting on my shelf - my FIA car is in the future. BTW - they have a small tab for mounting at the rear - the ones ERA shows on their web site and the ones you show are shaped slightly different and don't have this tab - no biggy, but we all know how anal we can all be about that kind of stuff. I noticed during my recent Kirkham tour, theirs had the little tabs, too.%/ For what it's worth....... |
I contacted Cobra Restorers regarding the different mouth form. I also found on the catalog, they sent me with the order, that there exists a front and a rear version. For my opinion they sent me the wrong version!
The answer I received on this points: Mouth: the original cooling ducts where made by hand. They never looked equal!!:confused: Wrong item: you should order the other one!!:mad: Bruce (or somebody) Please send me the phone-, fax number ,post- or e-mail address from Bill Kemper. I'll contact him and ORDER the parts from him!!! ;) ALF |
I contacted Bill Kemper, to order some cooling ducts.
Now he answered me, that he hasn't anymore on stock!!!:CRY: Please can somebody tell me an other seller, where I can found "Break cooling ducts", they are looking perfect??? Which kind of quality are they from ERA? Are they painted?:confused: Thanks for the any help:( ALF |
Give Motorsports International a call, they might have the ducts.

Being as my FIA build may be 2 yrs off, I will sell you my Kemper mades for what I paid - I think $150 +-. Alternately, try Kirkham - as I said, they looked identical to the Kempers. |
cooling ducts from ERA
Today I received the new cooling ducts I ordered from ERA.
They are looking like twins!!! I can say, if one of you is interest to buy some cooling ducts for his 289 FIA, order it from ERA!!! ;) I made some bade experience. I ordered the first one from Cobra Restorers and they are crap! The answer I received regarding this difference was a joke!:mad: And I hope for all of you, that the ERA cars are mad on the same way like the ducts! If yes; it is really a great car and with this support you receive from ERA it is a good solution!! :D ALF from Switzerland |
Alf - congrats - glad it worked out..
I decided to keep the Kemper ducts for my FIA build some day. If I had sold them, I wouldn't have the $$ when the time came, and I wouldn't have the ducts. Good luck with the car.:) |
Who is Bill Kemper ?? :confused:
