no big difficulty except the size of the buttons on the dashboard: but they had the intelligence to put spare buttons in case one of them makes the air girl with the pressure of the tweezers. advice: stick the buttons in their slots because they are easily removed Ditto for the push button on the contactor with a micro drop of cyano (placed with a toothpick) the central arch justifies a stroke of black paint like the wheel arches to remove its plastic appearance.

Hello always the same question it's been 1 week since we paid the 6 pack of the cobra: when can we expect to receive it we are waiting for confirmation but within 14 days
-
-
a solution given by another fitter in France: glue the spring heads of the shock absorbers to their supports with cyanolite glue: this centers the springs and limits the downward movement of the front suspension and therefore the disengagement of the shock rod.
-
Good evening also received coli n ° 5 after examination and start of assembly some remarks - the front suspensions are easier to assemble if the wheels are removed, unlike what they do at Agora - the wheel fixing bolts are too short and they screw up easily (2) I replaced with longer ones with washer -the front shock absorbers actually disengage if the car is lifted; if the additional accessories of the front axle (rack and stabilizer bar) do not prevent this too great downward travel, we will have to find a way to eliminate this defect because once the car is finished it will be a hassle to rewind the shock absorbers -the plastic of the wheel arches is really raw plastic and deserves a little satin black paint to be cleaner! - and for aesthetics I am going to paint the springs in red and you have to put a small black washer at the foot of each spring to center them on the shock absorber otherwise they go off to the side. see you more for pictures.

Hello it is necessary to hope that the rack (steering bar) will block the descent of the front wheels.
-
good work you are lucky to have received pack 5: Agora told me that only Australia has already received it. I think I will paint the shock absorber springs red to give the running gear a little color.

the response on the live chat always the same question: when will the Cobra pack 5 be shipped? last week you said Friday or Monday Friday and Monday have passed and nothing !!! Hi Pierre We are moving as fast as humanly possible. We are waiting for news from the ports to get the goods cleared and into the warehouse Social restrictions, Brexit/Customs delays, we are doing everything we can We have been able to get Pack #6 on schedule but we are waiting for information so we know the exact date of shipping to customers. 18:59
-
Hello can you tell us the content and if it's not too much can you attach a picture of the set Thank you ; good build
-
Agora's response to the live chat It ships on Friday or Monday For some reason our reply did not go through. It is likely to be Monday, we have just asked again now

Hello I actually have the same problem Note among other things that the original engine does not attach at all in this way on the chassis! the engine mounts are not on the clutch housing but on the engine block as can be seen in one of the following photos and in addition it is missing the starter motor the oil dipstick the fuel hoses on the carburetor and there is no hole on the bottom oil pan see the pictures the starter motor lthe oil dipstickthere is no hole on the bottom oil pan the fuel hoses on the carburetor the real the model but they say One of 29 Competition cars from 1965 that became Semi-Competition, this model replicates every detail of the original Semi-Competition Cobras. Starting out as full Competition models, but denied FIA approval for the 1965 racing season, the 427 Semi-Competitions were completed as street cars, suitable for road and racing and marketed as the fastest production cars in the world.
-
I asked customer service about the deadlines for pack 5 the answer : Hello, Pack #5 ships in 7-10 days. Thank you
-
hi airb here is the text of the ad from the first page when we go on the offer for the model "One of 29 Competition cars from 1965 that became Semi-Competition, this model replicates every detail of the original Semi-Competition Cobras. Starting out as full Competition models, but denied FIA approval for the 1965 racing season, the 427 Semi-Competitions were completed as street cars, suitable for road and racing and marketed as the fastest production cars in the world." but maybe that: sure as the politicians say: the promises only engage those who listen to them, not those who make them. best regards
-
we can add Will there be a starter motor Will there be an oil dipstick tube Will there be fuel hoses supplying the carburetors questions already asked and remained unanswered for the moment best regards

Agora Customer Service 15:44 (il y a 2 heures) À moi Hi Pierre, We are told by Royal Mail that this is normal due to the initial delays caused by Brexit. We should see the tracking update this week. Many thanks
-
-
idem for me :pack 4 is on its way
-
Hello it is certain that an expedition from France would decrease the costs of postage. but if because of the brexit we had an additional cost: I would interrupt my subscription and Agora would undoubtedly lose a lot of subscribers in Europe

Hello for precision it is about this part which is missing for the moment on the engine: fundamental part since it is about the starter. -
