The p/steer issue has nothing to do with skimping - they're only a few hundred bucks. We had the car at Kenmer for 6 months and half a dozen club members offered their advice over that time - and would you believe nobody thought about the power steering pump.
Thats the advantage of being a paid up member of any club, they offer assistance in their field and give their advice. Did you advise them you were fitting P/S?

Thats most likely because most Cobra's are not fitted with P/S, I think its more common now, even though the Chev's are so light you can get more camber and caster without effecting the driveability. Everyone that has fitted P/S to their cars have been very impressed.

We had the issue with the A/C compressor ( rare for cobra's ) so this was an issue with my install. But as we had all the acc's we could fix the problem when it appeared. Its not about skimping, its just having what you need to do the job properely the first time. The cars take long enough to finish when money is not a problem, good things take time and you dont want to go back to things you have already done.
