Rear axle Rebuild
After completely stripping down the rear axle, Tara and I primered and painted the axle yesterday. Also cleaned and prepped the gas tank and tank cover. Found out the tank has a 255lph fuel pump in it. That was a nice surprise.
Also rebuilt the tractionlok with new carbon fiber clutch disks from a 2003 Cobra. A friend from church helped get the carrier bearings removed and new ones pressed on. Next on the list will be to top coat the axle and re-assemble. Also work on prepping and installing the gas tank.

5th time is a charm
Well, worked the last 2 nights on getting the pedal cluster mounted. After installing it and taking it off 5 times, I finally got it installed correctly. I kept finding parts I forgot... I had the brake pedal shortened for use with manual brakes and I am using a master cylinder from a 1986 SVO which came from the factory with 4 wheel disk brakes.
I jacked with the factory gas pedal and I couldn't find a position I liked. The instructions say to cut 2 inches off of it and remount the pedal. Most comments on ffcobra.com say this turns it into an on/off switch since it is so short. I've been trying to bend it in different directions to get the same effect while maintaining the length. It is also too far over to the right. I may just break down and spend the 80 bucks to get a Russ Thompson Gas pedal...
Next on the agenda will be the Rear axle rebuild... Oh boy!!! Yes, Will I will try and get some pictures posted...
