Default header fit

I had the same header problem when assembling my Cobra! The drivers side cutout was in a different location than the passenger side cutout. (Too far to the front) The difference was about an inch an a half!
I did some fiberglass work by cutting out an 1 1/2" in the rear and then fiberglassed the front of the cutout to match the other side. It took a little while but it turned out looking just right!
Another idea is that if you cutouts are in the same position on the body, you may have to tweak the headers a bit by mounting them to the engine and then moving the tubes whatever direction they need to be moved. Also not very difficult but will take a little effort!
I did not have tire interference issues other than ride height.
