Glad to see you’re over that now David :)

Now that’s made me jealous!
Dek

Wow! Your dad had a type 35? Hope he’s passing it onto you :)

Following on from that Daytona video was the Superformance R with splitters, slats etc. Personally I thought it was gross. A failed attempt to improve on perfection. What do other people think? Sorry...

Thanks Mike will be interested to hear what Eckold say. They either are not pressurising sufficiently or they are not holding the gas.
Dek

Thanks for the link Gary. How long does it remain usable for once open and what’s the best method of sealing the tube once opened?
Dek

I’ve also got a Dax with Eckold boot struts which don’t hold the boot up. I’ve used the adjustable struts from SGS for my Viper and they came rated at 100N and they are fine without any...

The photos will be cloned from possibly a previous advert or somewhere. Quite common in too good to be true car sales.

Wish I was on the “venerable” list :)

That pretty much confirms it’s a scam. Quite often they are in Scotland out of reach of an easy viewing. As soon as you say I only live up the road I’ll pop along and view it you don’t get a...

Update. Had an email from the promoter today to say the 50% discount has been extended to the end of January. Same code SYW50.
Dek

That was for both days David, I think.

Sometimes when it’s too good to be true.....
About as far away as you can get so not easy to view. Seller no feedback. Scam?
Dek

Thanks Roger.
Dek

What gauge did you use Roger?
Dek

That looks good. I’ve always used Autosol but think I’ll give that a try as it also contains a protective wax. Thanks.

So the Quick Set comes with a purple spring which is different (and lighter) to the original spring to make it more responsive? I can learn to understand a carb as I’ve discovered now but I’ll...

I think you’re right Chris. Further reading says that the power delivery should be progressive and if it is noticeable suggests there is a flat spot. +1 for carbs!
Dek

Did you check if your payment was taken Paul?
Dek

Yes Paul you’re right, every day is a school day. But you’re wrong about which Cob to take out. Now I have to decide which Cob to work on before I take them out!
Dek

Thanks Chris. I’ve heard about changing springs and appreciate the Holleys fitted to our cars were designed as “one size fits all” and they could be better tailored to Cobras. Seem pretty easy...

Thanks Jon. That explains it well. Simple and straightforward so worth doing for piece of mind.
Dek

Thanks Chris didn’t know something like that existed and not expensive. Now I’m getting things set up correctly and the engine is just about run in I need to give it some use in the Spring when...

Thanks John I think I’ve read of the paper clip method before now you mention it. I’m also looking for a fat friend as an alternative! Skinny friends need not apply.

Hi John
This is on another Cobra I bought recently so although it’s only done a few miles it’s a bit of an unknown quantity to me and still going through a “shake down” period. It was...
