Bill,
I hope to have some new pics posted in a week or so. Too many projects and delays on some small pieces.

It's been slow lately since I'm still looking for a few small pieces and haven't had a lot of time to work. I bought a new wiring harness from British Wiring. They make one for a 427 Cobra every few months so it was a pretty long wait. It is supposed to be totally accurate but there are a few problems with it. The brake cylinders were quite a problem with no seal kits for the very late cars which have a .750 bore as opposed to the earlier .625 for which kits are readily available. I finally bought new Girling masters which look different than the originals but are the same dimensions and swapped the guts into the originals. The pistons are a little different but seem to work fine. Pedal pressure seems about right. Someone makes return springs for brakes and clutch so that was easy. We made a new cover for the pedal box because the original was fairly worn out.

A little but nothing that can really be seen. Just rebuilt the new wiring harness. Lucas originally supplied it and Shelby made changes. I think I have finally addressed those changes. I've finally sourced some hard to find pieces. So there is progress but not enough time lately.
