The list was all minor stuff.

I had the wrong indicator lenses on the front blinkers. I used the clear lenses with yellow LED bulbs. The E marking on the clear lenses was for parkers and needed to be indicators. I happen to have a spare set of yellow lenses at home so that's an easy fix.

The flasher can for the indicators needs to be load sensitive so that if a bulb blows they flash faster or just stay on. I've got a load sensitive can at home too.

I forgot to fit my dash pad and a pad for the steering wheel center.

After we had got back from the braking tests the suspension had sagged a bit so I didn't quite have enough ground clearance under the exhaust. A couple more turns on the coil over collars will fix that.

That was about it.

The important doccuments you will need are the torsion and beaming results from your chassis manufacturer along with the bump steer figures. The reciept for your engine and the reciept for your chassis/body.

I think the gods were smiling on me yesterday because it didn't rain till I had the cobra unloaded and back in the shed and the trailer stored away in the back yard.

No plans for breaking my motor yet. it will get pulled out and a few reliability mods done to it befor the Nationals. I've got some ARP rod bolts, a ported LS6 oil pump and an LS2 Corvette sump to go on it. Theres also a set of good valve springs and retainers for up top. These minor mods should let it survive some sustained high RPM blasts down the straights.

Cheers
