Re: HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit
Post #100!
After griping about the challenges on the previous post I figured out some stuff and just got back to work. I got the left front brake line made last night and the right front line done tonight. I'm not great at bending lines but I'm satisfied with how these turned out.
I was wrong about the thread size on my rack. Turns out that 5/8-18 and M16-1.50 are REALLY close to the same size. Also it's not easy to find either of those on hand anywhere. I even tried Fastenal and only found jam nuts and one 60mm long bolt.
My new plan is to use the 98 mustang tie rods, the extensions that came with the kit and make threaded bushings that adapt the extensions to fit my rack. I've got a slug of 1" steel to make it but will need some help or tools. I've got a neighbor that has a lathe and mill so I'll see if he can help me out.
