[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14461860, member: 83412"] I figured if anyone was going to notice the additional mounts on the front rack tube that it would be you Kelly. I do not have them. When the rest of the system becomes available I assure you that I'll be ordering them though. For those of you that aren't sure about what Kelly is referring to, take a look at a post Ron made earlier this year. Note that the prototype K-member seen in those photos is different than what I installed. That K-member doesn't use the billet blocks, for example. Look closely and you'll see other changes as well. [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1002534-Maximum-Motorsports-new-S197-parts-being-teased[/url] No spacer for the A-arm at the rear mount. Again, I don't know what Maximum may have up their sleeve here. The "motor mounting method"...I forget who had the epiphany, Luka or Chuck. Exactly why they chose to offer it...how could you not?! With respect to the floorpan being weak where the rear K-member mount attaches - I also see subframe connectors in those Shelby store photos.
