My friend is building his 1965 Cobra Roadster, and needs a clear picture/s of the brake system. Anyone out there have brake instructions with pictures?

There a dozens of different "Cobra" kits, with many different brake configurations. We need to know which kit your friend has, and any other front/rear suspension details.

Is it an original Cobra?

The car he's building is an original 1965 Cobra Roadster from Kirkham motorsports. He's bought all original parts, and has the brakes, but needs pictures of brake pedal linkage and master cylinder installations. This is the ony thing holding him up and I bet him we'd get the info here. Help me win.

Kirkham doesn't make original 1965 Cobras. Nobody does anymore.
It would have been smarter and faster to contact KMP for info on their brake pedal linkage and mc installation.

Yeah, original cars came from AC in England.
Kirkhams use a removeable pedal box. If you do a search on this site for Pedal Box, you'll find some pics on KMS pedal boxes.
I have one but have loaned it to a friend. So I can't take any pics at the moment.
Like Chas says, best to contact Kirkham for the correct parts.
