Default Font on Cobra Brakes

I am going to be getting my Cobra brakes on Monday but before I put them on, I'm going to do a bit of customizing. They are going to be painted Ford Corporate Blue and I'm going to paint Ford (as in the letters, not the oval) in white. So, does anyone know what font was used for the Cobra script on the calipers?

that would likely be an internal Ford type-set and would probably be VERY hard to find an equivalent of on the intarw3b. Good luck.

I would also doubt that they'd create a whole font set for just that graphic... probably used their CAD app to set the design in wireframe as part of the caliper or something like that rather than putting together a set of 52 (upper-case and lower-case for all 26 letters) unique drawings of letters so they could put pretty pictures on brake calipers.

Any suggestions on how to duplicate it? If not, are there any stencils available or it? If all else fails, I'l just paint them and not worry about lettering but it would be a shame to leave them plain.

a rubbing is the conventional way to do it. take a piece of paper and hold it to the caliper covering the logo, and rub a pencil or charcoal over the logo and you're done. Cut it out and you're there.

Thanks! From the looks of it, it looks to be the same, just condensed height wise.
