[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14461756, member: 124691"] Very nice post Tob! And yes, very nice K-Member. I have always been a fan of MM K-Members, they are definitely one of the best options when looking for a front end that is more rigid, and offers geometry adjustment / improvements. I have run (2) MM K's on my previous cars. We have been kicking around the idea of developing (2) more K's. One was going to be a handling specific piece - and now seeing this up close, it looks like either A: we may not bother, or B: We better be on our game when we design it! So, the outboard mounts on the front rack bar....were you able to acquire the front end bracing? If not, will you be acquiring it anytime soon? The A-Arm pivot (front) mounts - did they provide you with a spacer for the rear mount, if you decide to raise it up? We have a limited # of K's that we made with the same raised front mount, but never got around to offering the spacer for the back. The motor mounting method - were you informed on exactly why they chose to offer it in that fashion? I dig it. I noticed the rear most mounts, they seem to be somewhat narrow. That goes against what our next revision / version may be, because the floorpan in that region is a very known weak point, especially on a handling application. Do they, or are they planning on offering some bolt-in or welded reinforcement plates for that area? Kind of like the Shelby Pieces: [url]http://www.shelbystore.com/Shelby-K-Member-Support-Plates-p/s5mk-5a035-a.htm[/url] My favorite design feature of this piece is the rear arm mounting area. The K-Members that have failed, typically fail where the A-Arm is mounted on the rear leg of the K-Member. Of course, the brace that goes from side to side helps, but that design on this piece is very, very well thought out. MM did a great job! [/QUOTE]
