Cobra Trailer: Top's lower front corners distorted
Hi All - Below is the draft I sent to Spindelberger;
nothing happened since; need to chase it... Problem is two-fold: - jack the top back to square - keep it there I received instructions starting "remove the top from the trailer"... Right. I designed & sketched the kludgery to fix in situ and Alfred built the parts shown in this document. I thought they were going to sell repair kits... http://www.nadler.com/public/Cobra/C...rcement_01.pdf There are MANY different Cobra tops and the angles and dimensions of this jack-thing would be different for each. An alternative scheme would be build an external jack mechanism, straighten, then install the wee blocks as installed in the same location on newer trailers. BE CAREFUL! Hope this helps, Best Regards, Dave PS: BE CAREFUL! PPS: This worked fine on my Antares trailer (20k+ miles since without further issue). PPPS: BE CAREFUL!!

Alfred also made parts for Eric Greenwell, but Eric hasn't yet installed them. I'll get photos eventually...
