Cobra #3170,
I had a machinist friend look at the idea of snap rings to locate the bearings and we both think that is the best way, as it wont weaken the upright at all. I have seen a cobra I think it is the Strawberry Hill Cobra, they have done it by using 4 little bolts and alloy retaining caps or hats, as they didnt like circlips, but I cant see a problem if its done nicely.
By the way do any of you guys know where there is a pair of T/bird uprights?
Not a lot of car wreckers with T/Birds here in NZ...!
Long story but this race car fabricator did what the Strawberry-H guy did but instead of using bolts he welded the hats to my uprights, as far as I am concerned they have been heat stressed and I wont use them.
