Hurst TKX and TKO cross member on Super Sale

the beauty of the £65 offer is you don't have any qualms about cutting it up and using the useful bits

Must admit the US car tool, white one, with weld on Tab looks mega beefy but made on request and $$$ and that kills it for export to me, it would cost me double.

the SST one can only be sold in a kit with a transmission, unless you work for a magasine who carries their adverts, well that was the gist if an email i got years ago when i questioned why so and so were allowed to buy indpendently and i wasn't. So i went off them.

anyway

that upper piece of "art work" doesn't look that useful, but will reserve judgement until i have it in hand.
the thing is supposed to stop the cut off ends of the origional chassis member from moving closer and further apart or indeed alternately up and down depending on severity of corner when the suspension twists against the torsion bar anchor.

My thinking is, if a bolt in chassis connector set is considred inadequate, and a weld in kit way better, surely this sits in the same bucket, of nice idea, but not quite good enough.
Perhaps thats why its discontinued, been around and potentially in use in cars now for 15+ years, maybe thats a long enough Beta/Test programme for someone to discover an issue.

you hear much more mention of tunnel perimeterframes these days where did that come from??

internet mooching seems to show most who fit a tremec appear to buy a full kit from other suppliers or do it very DIY. Other Than fitting stories in mags (infotainment/advert) and the Youtube video of "fitting a TKO to a mopar A body" from Hurst themselves i have never seen anything from anyone else, discusssing using Hurst Kit, to fit a tremec box.

cross member for $65, thats reasonable, i aint complianing, nice one holley
