Congratulations Shelby Dave. I'm guessing your Bennett Cobra has an MGB IFS. And with that in mind it should be a relatively easy install.
A MUST DO as far as I am concerned, and that is to connect the MGB steering column to the FastCars IFS with one just one intermediate shaft. I monkeyed around with using a splined shaft and now I have used a DD sliding shaft to make this connection. See my Facebook photo album on how I built my Cobra and you will see detail photos of this. Click on my facebook link by my avatar.
Good luck with your install.
Fast cars offers the IFS 2" wider. Does anyone know where it is made wider. Is the K member wider and have the shock towers also been moved outward. Or, are the wishbones made 1" longer? If just the wishbones are made longer then all Butler frames will still need to be notched to make space for the towers, or the towers will need to have the inner back edges trimmed and welded.
