Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Small parts

« on: October 05, 2013, 15:12:26 »

Gentlemen, I am terribly sorry bothering you with insignificant issues. However, I am looking for some of the small black rubber parts the engine bonnet is resting on. Where can I get those? Regards from Hermann

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / New Tires

« on: September 29, 2013, 11:50:47 »

Gentlemen, because of steering wheel vibrations I recently visited the tire specialist for balancing, however, I learnt the the front tires have a flattening due to long standing. So, I need an new pair of front tires 225/60R15. Currently front and rear tires are Avon CR6ZZ an they are 2 years old and around 1500 miles. The prices for such tires here in Germany are currently unbelievable. Any recommendation where to order in UK?
   
   By the way, I heard that the Avon tires are the best for Cobras. However, what about the nice-looking Good Year Eagle with big white letters you often see on old pictures. Some of the Shelby Cobras are delivered with those tires. I assume they are not register for Europe.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Salisbury diff over-heated

« on: July 24, 2013, 00:51:20 »

After driving with elevated speed on the German highway the Salisbury diff of my Mk IV 427 (>400 HP) produces terrible cracking in narrow corners particularly when I am starting. I assume that the diff is then over-heated. Is there an suitable way for cooling the diff ?
   Are there maybe finned diff covers available?
   KInd regards from Frankfurt Germany
