Here is another one of those "dual-use" areas. The foot boxes on this car are stressed. You can see we also milled a pocket into the front of the foot box to accept a bearing to support the front of the main steering shaft. If you can believe it, the original Cobra front steering shaft support was made out of FELT! No wonder the cars were "interesting" to drive. Also, in this photo you can see some really ugly looking motor mounts. Those are just mock up motor mounts to make sure everything fit. The real motor mounts are really quite cool looking. I will post pics in a later post.
