Seems our professional cobra builders/suppliers, though not liking the changes are just going with the flow. I reckon its time to show some brass one's and challenge the regulators. I have been on that side of the fence, and know first hand how bad the bureaucratic types can get if they are not lateral thinkers, and most aren't or at least can't bend the rules as much as they might want to!!
If however we develop an avenue for them to legitimately follow under their rules, we can achieve as many concessions as we can get approved. Just a though I suppose but until we really club together on the build issues the national and state authorities are just going to make it harder and harder.

Stephen, you are dead set correct. We have a situation here in Queensland wherein the door has been opened by the authorities for exactly that to happen.
But....It needs quite some work to be done by the club and sadly the Cobra club is run by volunteers, many of whom have registered cars so the heat to get things done is not a priority. Can't blame them really. it's a big enough job to manage the various clubs let alone get involved in all sorts of bureaucratic bull$hit.
But, you are right...got to happen and soon
Cheers
