Just as a side note i guess, There is a way to reproduce any parts
needed, just so long as you have one of the original parts. Cad/Cam
laser scanning. This involves just mounting the part on to a jig,
then haveing a laser scanner go over the piece. Then on the machine,
you can simply input a reference dimension, and the computer does the
rest. This will allow you to accurately re machine any part.
This was in fact done to an original Shelby Cobra a few years ago by
a Swedish company, who then tweaked a few numbers to generate a
tighter fit, better performance, etc.. The first reproduction of the
vehicle was actually driven by Carroll Shelby from my recollection
who was quite impressed.
There is hope after all..
