Interesting kink you have there. Well, the k frame holes on an Abody are symmetrical, so if its a perfect rectangle you're gin. It is also a flat plane, don't forget to check for that.

Hello Bill, I am working on a 1976 Plymouth Valiant and plan to purchase/use your Alterkation setups front and rear. I just had the body media blasted and primered on a rotisserie, and now I find that there is some slight damage to the frame up front and am concerned that I may have problems with bolting up the new K member kit. I still have the original K member, but am not sure if it is bent/damaged in a way that is not obvious/visible to me.
This weekend I will take measurements of the four bolt holes under the frame that the K member bolts to and see if they are equally spaced or not. Short of that, I was wondering if you have any advice for me?
