The ongoing story of a 427 S/C Replica Cobra build. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. The Hunt for Seats. Seats are a problem in one of these cars. The space in the cockpit for the seats is very narrow. Coupled with the fact that to get ICV engineering approval and subsequently registration, the seats must be ADR. It's off on an OEM search we go. The current ADR 3/03.

After tack welding the third leg to the plate and the top bracket to the hoop in the car, it all got pulled out to be fully welded and then the welds blended out smooth and ready for finishing. These will be black and I think I will get them powder coated. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Get Email Updates to my Blog. Cobra Car Club Victoria.

Cobra Blog: Making Headers part deux
http://cobrablog.holnet.net/2014/11/making-headers-part-deux.html
The ongoing story of a 427 S/C Replica Cobra build. Saturday, November 8, 2014. Making Headers part deux. Continuing work on the headers, first to clean the mill scale off the flanges with a flap disc. Then welded up the headers to the 4-into-1, 2.5" outlet collectors. They will then get a 2.5" 90 degree turn towards the sides of the car, then the cats, then out into sidepipes. Yes, my welds need some clean-up, but hey, I work at a keyboard all day! Next up will be beginning to make the sidepipes.
