They are commonly referred to as toilet seat lid type, I wonder why. Yes used on early cars until there were incidents like Asnake refers to. Then there were some guys taking them racing that needed quick hood access hence the teardrop handles. Then Wilmot Breeden did a suitable handle used with a circular base plate that went the rest of Cobra and 427 production. These handles were a locking type with a lock barrel available but had blanking plugs in place of the locks in Cobras and 427's.

I hope the 427 that looked original was mine but it doesn't spend a lot of time on a trailer.

I can get you pretty close on a few of these items.

We don't do enough volume to list them on our site.
Heater looks like the one used in a Ford Prefect 100E (English Ford).
Good hunting, let us know if you score.

We have reproduced heaters and cores in small batches.

We are making the original spec mufflers and exhaust parts.

Are the etched type available or is it only the embossed style from CJ and Branda?

Dan rebuilt the rear shocks and either straightened or replaced the bent pin on one end.
We have now found a crack in the differentials clutch housing. I imagine it's a difficult part to replace and will have to weld repair and remachine it unless someone has one in their parts stash.

I use modern ones on my car.

Papa scoops reminded me of a story back in the day. Skinny Stan Hallinan RIP was a local legend and hot shoe here in NH. He didn't need a big block to scare his passengers. His 260 Cobra was fitted with a toilet paper holder back in the day for a ride Stan referred to as a "stainer".

Koni competition spec shocks have a threaded body and height adjustment. They also have a twist to turn adjustment for the shock. They were made specially for a Cobra application with a welded on bearing block on the rear lowers.

Welcome aboard. I assume you are referring to a C as a competition? They used the same chassis for competition, semi competition and street cars. I don't know where your dimensions came from but I don't see any that agree with anything I have on file.

Looking minty fresh!

I'm weighing my available options on window seal beltline sweeps felts replacement. There's a lot of terms used to describe these parts huh.
Also door and trunk rubbers and seals.
I've found Scott Drake, ACP, eClassics, Collectors auto supply, Steelerubber.
Have you guys used any of these and are they comparable to original quality and fit?

Sure.
