Parts interchangeability

[Robert McLinden]

Tried searching for a previous thread that listed other cars that used the same components as the original Cobras, i.e. taillights, etc. Could someone post a link to that thread again.

Thanks for the help.

You'll never find it; the thread is buried deep in the bowels of Club Cobra.

I've got a few more additions to my original list, I should update and repost it. Any other additions or corrections from anyone??

[Robert McLinden]

Thanks guys. That's the thread I had found with my search yesterday. I just seem to remember a more extensive thread occurring a few years back.

Of course I "seem" to remember a lot of things these days.

Thanks again.

What else do you need info on?

[Robert McLinden]

Was just curious as to origin of most of the parts. Bearings, ball joints, electrical things like that. European car companies make very few of there own parts. When I had my 67 Alfa I used to get a lot of parts from other sources (brakes, pistons, valves, virtually the whole electric system).

It was a kit car from the git go. A bunch of hot rodders putting together what was available and worked. Bearings I think were mostly Timkens, ball joints were AC specific.
