Here's the (better late than never!) announcement from Mitch: Good morning. Just a reminder about the upcoming SCCA CFR District 7 Monthly Meeting this Wednesday, September 18. As usual, we will meet at Louie's Pizza House, on Beville Road in Daytona Beach. Social/ Dinner at 6pm; Business at 7pm. We ...

Ken,

The Cobra so far runs in the rain just fine If I get any stutters from the Z I can just put a similar deflector on it.

I like it! May be better than the Koul tools. Or maybe not.

If I try it I think I'll wear a stout glove instead of just some tats...

EDIT: Is that stainless covered tubing? Or is it braided nylon?

It''s good to sleep on problems - I think... I plan to cut a hole in the hood at the front of the scoop and then move the scoop forward 2-1/4". Here's the hood with the scoop off: HoodPic2web.JPG The red circle shows where the 4-5/8" holesaw will be applied. Here's a closer view showing the rear of ...
