Sidevents
Popped in to see John Kerr on the w/e and he showed me his new Crendon sidevents design - look like the traditional cobra items, but they mount/unclip from the body without any need for tools.
After some cajouling, says he might now be persuaded to sell some of his products to a wider range of customers.

If Johns made them then as we know they'll be first class. I think it would be a good move on his part to sell a few other products to the wider Cobra fraternity. Vents, sidepipes etc... why not. Originally Posted by aaronjb
Like others, I've spent some time with John in his workshop and its proper old school engineering done correctly. I'd have been delighted to have Crendon items on my Dax (and I refused to buy some of the Dax items as TBH I just didn't think they were the standard I was looking for).

If the rest of his car was yellow then painting the sidevents the same colour would be fine.
I know Aaron is a heathen, but he doesn't deserve to be vilified at every opportunity.
On second thoughts, he does. Crendon, Ford Cleveland
