Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Part list
« on: April 29, 2013, 23:52:27 »
Hello,
   
   I already asked for [:D], but it would be useful to have a part list for the MKIV... I read that someone may have such a list, but nobody could provide it (here and on Club Cobra site, with Old Phart username) [:(]... If you have it, please send me an PM!
   
   As a start, here are the part refs I managed to gather :
   
   - track rod ends : GSJ168
   - lower ball joint : jbj252
   - oil filter : motorcraft FL-1A
   - front outer wheel bearing : LM-11949 (NSK, SKF, etc)
   
   To be continued...
   
   Ps: for the lower ball joint, here are the cross refs from other suppliers:
   QH    QSJ1004S
   Delphi   TC125
   Autoparts   SS159
   Falcon   FJ530
   Firstline   FBJ 5138
   MOOG   SA-BJ-0556

   but, I've never seen such a big flat surface on the rear lights location ?
   
   edited : is it because lights are smaller than usual ?

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / U joints
« on: January 04, 2013, 10:02:14 »
dear all,
   
   I found there's some play in my steering  system, despite the 13K only mileage ...
   
   I think about changing the U joints (and maybe the intermediary shafts), replacing them by high quality ones (from Flaming river for example).
   
   two questions :
   - does anybody has already done that ?
   - the upper U-joint is welded to the middle shaft... is it normal ?

   I read some time ago that mister Muck said he sold this car new, so its history may be well known, but I thought the info was interesting [;)]..

Two 289 cobras are featured in Retroviseur, this month...  One is a street Cobra (CSX 2424), and the other is said to be a street version converted to FIA specs (COX6013). They're both shooted at the Ecurie Europe (Yvan Mahé) facilities...

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / 15" wheels
« on: September 06, 2012, 09:24:35 »
a friend of mine has just imported a MKIV (topic to come, and it has 15"  wheels ... I love it [:D]! I know the subject has been beaten to death, but a discussion   with an ACOC member (sorry, I can't remember his name) has confused me [:o)] !
   
   he said that trigo wheels don't have the correct offset (ET) and, if I remember clearly, that implies that front wheels foul with calipers...
   those sold by Gerry Hawkridge seem to have the correct ET, but they're not in the same budget range [:(] !
   
   he also said that US seller (Vintage wheels or somethin' like that [;)] !) may provide hallibrand-like wheels, with the correct ET...
   
   what is  your experience with that ?
   
   thanks !
   
   Olivier
