Chris Wilko at Mardave say's he's never done a Cobra undertray for as long as he's owned the firm although they're still listed in the spares(I wanted one for mine).

I "found" some suitable aluminium angle ("L" shaped,10mm x 15mm)in the scrap bin at work.
Cut to 205mm long and then cut at the bend in the Cobra's chassis,I've drilled and tapped it(3mm x 0.5mm).
Then drilled the Cobra chassis,countersunk it from underneath and fixed the angle on using 3mm c/s set screws and added some stick on velcro pads.

Ok,it's adds a bit of weight,but the springy Cobra body now fits something like tight and follows the shape of the chassis quite well.
For the rear mount I used a Carson t/c body mount,shortened it,drilled and tapped it and mounted it between the gearbox and battery holder,then stuck a bit of velcro to it so that the rear end has a bit of support.

I'll take a pitcher or two tomorrow and post 'em up so that folks can see
how I've done it.
