crapolaThe Gremlins got me and the retards at Ford Racing.


First the Master cylinder outlet ports on the Cobra Master cylinder were different sizes than the stock MC. Small dia. in front and larger one in back. So I had to cut the ends off and switch the nuts and flare the lines.


Then in my rush to install the Cobra Brake kit I didn’t notice that Ford Racing sent me two right hand calipers. I didn’t find this out until I went to bleed the last one on the left side. The bleeder is on the bottom not the top.
I called the shop I bought them from because one of the owners had bought the same kit and he went out and checked his and found the same thing. Both right hand calipers.

Now I’m pissed I wanted to go open tracking racing at our local track.

The Kit came in a Ford Racing box from Summit Racing Equipment.

Same kinda thing happened to me. I ordered the Cobra A-arms for the front when I did my suspension. The box was sealed from FRPP. Both A-arms were for the passenger side. I ended up getting a refund and just reinstalled my stock A-arms since the bushings and ball joints were in good shape.

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
