Bill, I agree too with the selection of tyres. And, I'm almost sure the ride problem on my Cobra can be fixed with a change in spring rates. I currently have 475# 10" front and 475# 12" rear coilover springs. I and going to change to 400# front and progressive rate 175-375# for the rear...

Ron, I sent my panels yesterday as well. It's nice to be able to pick 'n choose, eh?

Cliff, I was thinking about this last night and thought 17" would alter too many things on the CAV. What's the reasoning,may I ask? Is it aesthetic, or handling/performance for tracking? Especially if you don't want to go to lower sidewall ratios. 1, it would raise the center of gravity of...

Thanks for the link. I also got jetting and initial tuning info from the same site...

Speak to Bob Lacey, He has BRM style 17" coming out soon; or maybe he has them already. They would retain the original look and be awesome on the CAV. He also has 17" Halibrand style in stock. Bob was the Western distributor for CAV so he knows the car well. http://www.vintagewheelsus.com/

Ron, I have a set (top and 2 rears) from a CAV that I replaced with oval-holed ones if Mark's doesn't work out. You can have them for postage. 11 13/16 x 17 13/16 They're chromed, though, so paint may peel or chip.

Thanks for sharing. Were the GT40s allowed to run with the Cobras?

Awfully nice of you. Yes, but their site shows badge0202 as currently out of stock. I have sent an E-Mail asking when they would have them available. As soon as I get a reply, I'll PM. Thanks!

Great idea. Maybe a quick note to Jean at AutoFutura and they could sponsor a registration area on their home website. It would definitely serve their best interests... AutoFutura, you guys watching?

Corect..hope you realize I'm just messing with you... Of course, this can go to the over-debated topic of "speed limits: safety must, or revenue source?" Russ, it would be extremely difficult for someone to do 55 if he was to survive the pace of New York society. You'd get run over. I...

That would be great, although more importantly, we can finally get together. PM sent.

At first glance, it does look like graft but I know for a fact that a large portion of the money from the PBA goes to families of cops hurt or killed in the line of duty. They also subsidize a program called PAL (Police Athletic League) that holds tournaments for Kids Karate, buy uniforms for...

Mark, I immediately looked at Ronnie Spain's book that day as I totally missed the owner. I saw the car, parked next to it, ogled it, then went for coffee. When I got back, it was gone. Bob, I e-mailed Mary at Europaspares and attached the jpg you posted and mentioned badge#202. I told...

Thanks! I haven't looked at the E tubes yet so I don't quite know what mains and correctors are in there yet. so far, the 60 idles are working great; wtill a little burble at the transition 2800-3000 RPM. I'll fiddle with the mains this weekend.

Mark. that's exactly the one I'm looking for. That may be the same car? The one I saw was parked at Captree Boat Basin in Long Island, NY one Spring Sunday. That was me peering in figuring out how to break in...: ) Brett, I'll try them as I've purchased some Cobra parts from them in the...

I'm trying to get close to the detail of this real one (1056, I think) Check out the letters and if you look closely, the quarterpanels have that little Ford oval just under the latches.

PBA card=Police Benevolent Association Although Police Budget Additions is more like it. One of my flying buddies is a NYC detective and I have moonlighting Police Aviation A&P Aircraft mechanics do my annuals so I get these cards. 99% of the time they work; not that I abuse the priviledge...

All I wanted to do was go for a nice drive out to the Hamptons. Got stopped twice. The first was by a Nassau County cop in an Expedition cruiser whom I passed (with about 5 other cars) doing 65 on the Long Island Expressway. I moved to the right lane, a few cars passed me doing 70 or more...
