Need to replace my K member
When did the spool mounts come out?[/QUOTEti He honest I don’t know the name of the part of the K frame that broke, here’s a picture it’s close up
Yes it can but to do it well you need to remove it. And it's an easy enough part to find that a replacement may be cheaper than shop welding rates (unless you're a DIYer)Anyone know if this can be welded up
Well there you go. LOL now you have instructions and picture.Can anyone tell me exactly what broke and what’s involved in fixing it if welded
absofrigginlutely! BTW I've seen that k frame advertised on fabo for $75-100. When I have them I get $150-$200 sandblasted and painted. I have repaired them also. I have a welding guy who cuts a piece out of a 6cyl k frame and splices it in.Would that failure cause the engine to drop down on drivers side where the headers are resting on the steering column and cause alignment issues.
Alignment issues yes but cuase engine position change? I don't think so. The mounts position the engine. Maybe the K has failed in a second place?Would that failure cause the engine to drop down on drivers side where the headers are resting on the steering column and cause alignment issues.
Where do you weld the steering mounts just beef them up.the control arm pivot sleeve weld failed. and if your going to all this trouble, weld both sides up and the steering box mounts too
