So I was nearly complete with this build went to prime the engines oiling system. I started priming the oil system when I went to look at the oil pressure gauges readings to see if oil was moving through the system I noticed a substantial amount of oil puddling on the Cobras carpet, WTH! I found that during the Cobras assembly someone had used a non-AN fitting to attach the hose to the oil pressure gauge! The hose fitting had bottomed on the limited amount of threads on the adapter fitting and not allowed the rest of the fitting to seat as it should have if the correct fitting was used. This is going to prompt me to start another thread on plumbing! Please, do not go down to your local Home Depot and expect to find AN fittings for your Cobra!
BY THE WAY WHEN I TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE MANUFACTURER THAT BUILT THE COBRA I WAS TOLD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND THAT HIS INSTALLER HAS DONE HUNDREDS OF THESE COBRAS.................  |
