You are most welcome.


PS There is no way I would use one in any type DRIVEN Cobra original or otherwise. Forget badly damaging chassis when clutch, flywheel, or sometimes transmission components fail; driver and passenger legs are right beside the bell housing. You don't have to be racing to have a problem with five decade old (design, materials, and age) devices with mystery service lives. Everything will fail eventually and one spinning around with a saw like ring gear is not one to trifle with. One original car owner told me he had a failure driving along in city traffic at less than 50 mph.

I have the original from my black car stored for a someday trailered only restoration. Both my cars have steel scatter shields on them.
