He's back ... and helped to install the rear end. Good thing he came... you really need two people to install a rear-end in a welded 3-link installation.

New inner shock tower location. Notice shock bushings and brake brackets for the braided stainless brake lines.

Note the angled shock.... there's lots of room on the outside for 315's now.

I'm really starting to like how the blue, black and gold anodizing go together.

Another view of the suspension setup... the Ford Racing differential cover was a bit pricy but it looks great.... OK perhaps it will be hidden by the tank, etc. but at least for now it is one of those items that give the car a finished look.

With 15" rims and Eagle 295's, I had to remove the outside lower corner of the shock mount to eliminate the potential for rim interference. This would not be an issue for 17" rims. Anyway... like other Cobra decisions, I may sell my 15" Halibrand rims/tires and purchase a set of 17" Halibrands with Goodyear Eagle 315's.... F1 GS-D3 rubber.

A closeup view.

I mounted it this weekend...and since it sits close to the rear suspension ..... here it is .... complete with braided stainless fuel lines from tank to carb.

The lower control arms are from Chassis Engineering - including poly bushings. I removed the spring perches before epoxy/urethane but left the rear sway bar mounts.

Here's a closeup of the spacers, etc.

Another look at the new upper shock towers.

For absolute safety and stiffness, I choose to weld all the 3-link brackets to the frame.
