I'm not a purist and it is a replica, no matter what I do, it will never be the real thing, just like 90% of the other cars on this site...enjoy what you have and drive the wheels off 'em.

RMC Series 3
Left hand photos showing door opened with red buckets fitted although temporary.
These buckets were previously fitted to a older Cobra and bought on ebay for $100 a pair.
They are SAAS modified seats with a 41cm base/cushion
The seats look good but I think a little narrow!

FIA_Suitcase_Study1
It’s documented that (2) AC factory cars were prepared with FIA suitcase "dimples" (See Photos). The second modification was to enlarge the trunk base to allow the suitcase to fit upright (vertical) and further down into the trunk as shown. If you look closely at the photo you can see the suitcase also fit horizontal and was held in place with a “bungee cord”. You can also see the bolts protruding out the bottom of the suitcase which originally held the suitcase upright. I think this also explains why some of the FIA cars had dimples while others didn’t.
As for the actual size of the suitcase – FIA Historic Racing Championships - Appendix J. Both 1964 and 1965.
State:
“270 - Luggage trunk
A covered space being an integral part of the coachwork but outside of the space occupied by the front seats, large enough to receive a trunk of
65 cm X 40 cm X 20 cm. minimum, besides the spare wheel, tools or the folded hood, shall be provided, excluding the spare wheel, tools or removed canopy.”

Paxton SN93 cutaway
I always wanted to know how these things worked, so I cut up a junked one at my machine shop (at work). It still spins. If I cut deeper (including the races) to show the friction balls then I'll loose that ability, so it sits for now.

SVC cobra clutch bellcrank type arm
This arm is on my Shell Valley Cobra that comes out of the back of the firewall inboard of the brake master cylinder which is bolted to the firewall. So the left to right position of the pedals is actually reversed on the firewall due to some strange linkage inside the pedal box. Try8ng to find out if this is part of the reason why my clutch is essentially undrivable, and whether this is a standard Shell Valley thing or some kind of complex setup somebody did to avoid the headers.

Cobra A arm?
Some news! When I bought the car it came with two sets of front A arms. I've attached a photo of both. We think the larger set is from the Cobra that "donated" the rear end, brakes, and suspension. Can anyone verify that the large arm is from a Cobra?
