Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Top whisbone ball joint

« on: March 23, 2024, 19:25:05 »

Hi guys,

This moning I changed the front tyres of my Cobra (AKL from 1993). While the tyres where off I checked the front suspension and direction and I discovered my top ball joint from the upper whisbone have some play and needs to be replaced 
I check this afternoon in the forum threads but I wasn't able to find the ref of the part (see attached pic).

Does anyone knows where to purchase the part ?
By the way, is there a special procedure to adjuste the ball joint?

Thanks,

Emmanuel

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / AKL 1422 technical question

« on: May 31, 2021, 21:56:37 »

Hello everybody,

I finally get my Spanish registration after 11 months... and a lot of docs to present to the Spanish administration  But the important is now I can drive my car 
I want to say thank you to some ACOC members who support me providing docs during the registration process!

I would like to know where to find the grommets located under the bonnet (see picture) because some are missing.

I would also like to know the reference or type of the engine radiator because I'm considering to install a new one as I think I have a very small pinhole  . I've tried to search on the Forum but with no success.

Thanks for your help.

Emmanuel

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / New member with AKL 1422

Hello everybody !

I can imagine Covid-19 is not a good moments for all the members so, as we have a lot of time at home, let me try to be positive and present myself and my new toy.

I'm French but I'm currently living in Spain (close to Girona) and I'm UK cars and motorcycles lover: I've owned a MGb and also an Austin Healey 100/6 before switching to german cars (it was hard to maintain UK cars and bikes at the same time  ). I'm also a Norton lover (I've got 6 bikes) and I'm currently restoring a rusty (very rusty  ...) Triumph Tr4.
Just before the Covid situation I exchange one of my cars for a Cobra Mk4 Lighweight (AKL 1422). Unfortunately the car is still in the previus owner garage and when it will be allowed to drive I will bring it back home 
Ac Cobra have always been my dream car so a Lightweight was a good and afordable combination for me.
The car is in very good condition and I'm in contact with some  ACOC members in order to get documents to register the car in Spain.
I also want to know if there is some technical documentation for Mk4 cars like workshop, part list, driver manual, etc... All docs will be welcome  My knowlege in AC cars is poor so I hope to learn a lot with this forum.
