Default PTK/PTS owners with tubular K-members inside please

Hey guys, now that kit has fully liberated my driver's side motor mount at 2K miles even though it was wrapped, I find myself needing a solid mount. I wanted a tubular K-member so I guess now is the time to get one.

My questions are:

1. Did it fit easily with the kit's piping?
2. How long did it take to get it?

Thanks guys.

For those that don't know, the downpipe isn't in this picture but goes through the k-member on the driver's side. The two how sides also merge on the driver's side over and under the mount. Here is a pic of the driver's side:

We've got a PTK LT1 kit on a BMR K member. Its similar to the kit in the above pic, The downpipe didnt clear one of the braces on the drivers side, so we had to modify it a little bit. I'll see if I can get him to email me a pic.

Thanks....


I'd really like to hear from someone who actually has the LS1 kit and a tubular K-member so I don't get stuck re-working a new part.

...hard to imagine having any sort of problem with that BMR after looking at RICE ETR's pic. Wow. How much weight does that save?

I have not seen mine yet but I have PTK with a UMI k-member and they told me everything was great so far. It is already installed. I can try to get some pics when I get it back if you need them.
