home made k frame

Engineering. Engineer. Math. Maff is hard.

Also realize this:

Just because someone manufactured one and markets the thing does not mean it is strong enough. Or that it has even been engineered mostly "at all." It also does not mean that a given product can put up with street use, jouncing, impact, cornering / side/ front/ rear braking, the bouncing of the tremendous force of an engine mass against it.
Absolutely correct!

I saw first hand, the results of poorly engineered and shoddy workmanship in manufacturing K members from a company that is now defunct.

It was taken over and revamped by QA-1 .

I can't speak on the quality of their re-released products but it seems by the number of vehicles built with their components I have seen on here, they have improved.
