Hey Guys, I've said this over and over...I don't car who's Cobra you have, you have to check and re-check all the time. Only a wrench can tell you if something is backing off. Never take anything for granted. A Lot of horsepower causes all kinds of things shaking loose. It is critical to staying alive in a Cobra or any race car that you check anything bolted on.
I have personally had many things back off after just a few hot laps. You have to learn your car inside and out period.
Steve,

I have to agree. There is a page on the JBL site Chassis Maintenance which gives some basic recommendations for the chassis.

You would not believe how many people when speaking to me about the JBL chassis, have said that after reading this section they thought the car would be too much trouble to maintain.

And then they have gone on to tell me that no other chassis requires this maintainance therefore there must be something wrong with the design..

At that point in the conversation I agree with them that the chassis is poorly designed and is certainly not meant for them.
