Black Friday (Thursday?!) Bargain

Having slightly (?!) grazed the rear lower wishbone inner fulcrum shafts with my angle grinder while trying to complete disassembly of the rear subframe (Rear Axle Strip Down - Part 4, I had reconciled myself to the fact that I was going to have to buy replacement shafts.

Original fulcrum shaft - with "slight" nick
from angle grinder...!

I had previously checked that it was possible to buy these, and while they are available,  original or OE fulcrum shafts are not cheap!  When I checked SNG Barratt had OE items listed on their website at the time for just over £130 - EACH!!!  

This was going to be a significant dent in my planned expenditure.  However I have to thank another fellow Cobra builder, James, who having read my blog, got in contact to tell me that he had spotted that SNG Barratt had discounted the fulcrum shafts by £113 - so they were only £20 each!  

Needless to say I got straight onto the SNG website and ordered two - saving myself £226.  That's my Black Friday (Thursday) bargain for the year.  Excellent service from SNG; I ordered them yesterday lunchtime and they arrived today. Happy days!!

£266 worth of fulcrum shafts - for the bargain price of £40!
