Modification of K-member idler arm mount advice

Before you weld that all up you might want to tack it, then jig up the box, pitman and center link, and make sure that height business makes sense. The center link should pretty much be parallel to plumb / level, and you can determine that from the K to frame mounts

Also the pitman shaft and idler bolt should be pretty much parallel, so they swing in the same axis

I think your jig is correct. Notice the lower control arm pin hole on the black k frame. Look at the contour of the top of the k frame in that area in relation to the lower control arm pin hole on both k frames. You can see there's a big difference between the two k frames in these areas and I believe that's where your difference is. I would go ahead and reshape the black idler arm mount where it fits flush on the red k frame all the way around, tack it like Del says and see how close you are. I bet it's right on the money.

It was definitely a good idea to tack it and check before. The idler is way too high, I didn't even need need to check with the centre link. It might be 1 inch too high or a little more :realcrazy:
