Default Era Fia Pix???

I need a couple pics if anyone has them.

#1. A good shot of the overflow tank hose routings on a carbureted, no heater car. I have mine set up but not sure of a couple of the routings. The pump to the tank...Should it go under the alternator & around the frame support or through the alt. belt opening?

#2. I want to give building my own brake scoops a go. Any detailed pics of these would be helpfull. I have downloaded all I can find but most are at bad angles & dimentions aren't clear.

Hyde,

I am running the same set-up...carb. no heater. I ran the hose below and around the alt. but inside the frame upright. This was how several cars were set-up at ERA.

Great! Thanks for the help guys! Any more pics or dimentions of the Ducts would be great too. Those do help a lot. From what I've read the general suggestion is to not run them on the street due to the possibility of debris being shot at the rotors. I was thinking of aiming them more to the back & the ground. I just really want the look without adding the extra wear & it sounded like a fun little metal shaping project.

Hello

I ordered the ducts from Cobra Restorers. But they where not to use!
Therefore I ordered the ERA ducts any they where perfect!
(I had only to cut them at the inside to have sufficient place for the wheels)

I mounted them on my car last year and I had never any problem on the street!
(I added two pictures to my gallery)

Regards
From Switzerland

Alf, what kind of cobra do you have? I've noticed on the COC Website that it must be a 289 but I couldn't find any information about it.

Regards,
Daniel

Many thanks for the compliment!

I’m always working on it, but you’ll know this as well!
