I can quite imagine it being nearly impossible to detect in a cobra, at least until its all gone horribly wrong you won't feel the rumbling or hear it with all the din of the engine and the other...

Bloody hell, there really is not much room left in there! Well at least you can't drop a spanner down the side of it. And I thought mine was looking like a tight squeeze!

I wish mine was a bit closer to being finished, would love to do this visit.........

Yes, torque is king really. I used to drive a 1957 Jensen 541, it only had 140 or so BHP and I don't even know what torque it put out but is was a 4 litre straight 6 and it used to pull from...

Ah, I only thought so because I had to look very carefully at some of my more inebriated posts.....

Jon, have you been imbibing slightly too much over the festive period?

Crossed posts with John, but yes variation on the same theme...........

You don't get in and out of Cobra's like that.
You sort of stand in the car put your hands on the bodywork behind you and slide yourself down into it, getting out is the reverse. Have you got the...

Yes, good luck all for next year, thanks John for your kind thoughts, this year has been appalling and hopefully 2021 HAS to be better.

Drop me a PM with a number and I will call you and explain what I have done with my PAS and why, I think it could be what you need. I have not gone down the usual corsa route for good reasons.

I think it best to wait until you have the body and panels, setting up a different pedal box and steering setup was difficult enough on the RAM while I had it all here! FWIW I put a tilton 600 series...

Interesting build Chris, enjoying this and looking forward to seeing the results.

Bloody hell Gav, thats some serious plumbing. I thought I had packaging issues!

That's a big old lump to get under the bonnet, but would make it interesting if you could fit it. I'm pretty sure it would not go into the RAM.

Interesting, I was going to move away from these and try to find something that has the flexibility but also a direct mechanical fastening all the way through it, I had several failures of these on...

Also the 2030 date is only for vehicles WHOLLY powered by petrol and diesel so hybrids etc will still require fuel and therefore it will still be available for at least 10 years after that point in...

Why do you believe it to be an anomaly or oversight? And why make anything of it anyway? It has been done so that London can continue to hold several classic vehicle events as it has done for years,...

Not a million miles away now Ben, I am assembling stuff now rather than re-engineering things, I hope to have it running next summer. Would like to see yours at some point, it was still a chassis...

Interesting info, wonder what I should do in respect of tightening pin drive wheels?

Well done Ben, well you beat me to getting mine back on the road. Well at least you are all set for the whole of next year's Cobra season.........

Can anyone tell me what fuel sender unit they are using and if they are using it with the Smiths cobra fuel gauge?

I think my sender has packed up but I am changing the gauge for a Caerbont/Smiths...

This is fantastic work, when will you be taking orders?

If its a Marina setup then the clutch cylinder is indeed Girling. The cylinder will either have a plastic tag round the body of it with the identification code or it will be stamped into the...

Nice job, not looking forward to that at all...............
