Beejay's New Cobra Build

[Gaz64]

Looks fantastic in many aspects.

Love that intake especially the linkage underneath.

But curiosity gets to me.

How do you pull up with handbrake in an emergency stop, as part of an inspection test? I would not be able to reach it while driving, and I'm 6ft.

Wow what a build. To own a Cobra is a dream of mine but unfortunately when you achieve a goal or obtain a dream you are often left wondering what now. I m sure when I finally own a Cobra I will always have this build to aspire to and want.

Hello Gaz,

It would be hard to reach the handbrake in a harness but with seatbelt it is fine. I would move it but like the original position.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben,

I thought that would be the case.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys. I recently went to a hot rod meeting. They were discussing and approved for hot rod use. electric operated park brakes. It is a worm and gear setup. Meaning that even if there is a total loss of power. The park brake will not release. The setup pulls on the standard type park brake cable. Sorry I didn't get the make. But I can chase it up if there is interest. The park brake lever position is a problem in both Cobras and Hot rods with the lack of room. Awesome build Beejay
