I will post some photos of the raw materials as soon as everything is out of the autoclave and is presentable. Hoping for some show and tell Saturday afternoon
@gpcustoms emergency brake conversion

something about a good weave that says "hello, lets cause some trouble"
Next step is some carbon panels bonded together for a fresh air box and two Dzus fasteners for a fast take out and clean or access the front of the motor.
Two things I had to do to install this.
I) trim a odd under hood louver that was making contact near the Cobra head.
II)Make a reducing ring for the 3" cobra head to fit the stock TB OD.
The ideal cool brackets are still in the works but for now Its supported by a CNC 3" bar mount located on the radiator mount(already has a hole for the mount) -

I would like it use this with the OEM air box, will it fit?
-
Sir, you have amazing talent. If had not installed the DDM Supercharger, I would be begging you for one.
-
I'm on deck, just waiting for details. Awesome sir

Mr. gpcustoms you sound like a solid trooper, wish you well! I'd like to get in line for the break cover when and if possible. I'm new here and still rather clumsy, but I'm trying real hard to get things right. Just let me know what I need to do, I'm in!

Its fairly straight forward but I did have the two hickups I noted in the photos above.
I shall post a two more photos of the fix for both and let you decide.
Make that three photos and I will show how its mounted up front using an adjustable bracket.
As for the Carbon 3 panel box that may take a bit more time since it was not on my original radar, sorta like the arm rest cover and panel that I have which is not resting well with my seamstress -

No I am sorry to say it will not but happy thoughts and best regards

Are emergency brake covers available?
If so, I'm in... -
E-Brake kits are still going on. Down to two silver handles and choice of red or black stitching on a black leather boot.
-
Did you get the nice NRG silver handles in again?

Okay I got hooked up with the overall finish of the cobra head and have a high quality silicone replacement on the way. Also turned to my friend to see if there is a 90 degree carbon option so I can take the 90 degree silicone out of the picture and clean up the look. Think it will be a better ascetic look and overall finish.
Before adding in Filter,clamps and the bracket its close to $160 so far.
Thats using the 90 degree Carbon elbow and removing the silicone from the assembly.
Still there are the two above noted items I have mentioned. The reducing ring will be included for the fitment of the Cobra head to the TB but the hood skeleton part tags the Carbon and I trimmed it so its not marring and damaging the tubing. When done you will have to consider that and decide for yourself. Additional detailed pictures of that trim will be posted as well. -
Hey Mark, quick question.
I think you have mentioned it somewhere on here, but I can't seem to find it. Do you know of a good match for a shifter boot to go with that awesome E-Brake black one with the red stitching?
-
The shift boot Noel sells is perhaps the best one out there. Cycle Springs

Yeah, Noel's shift boot is a nice product. Have one on mine as well.
