The D&D and just about every other aftermarket k member looks flimsy too. An old thread over at the Corral talked about an after market k-member failure. You can also go on cornercarvers.com and get some good info about aftermarket k-members too.On my heavy 01 Cobra Convert, I think I might stick with the stock K-member <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Bounty Hunter</b> <br /><small>Member # 1422</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,13,7,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> AJE and D&D are the most common on drag cars, these are cars that go wheels up every launch and I don't ever hear anybody breaking anything on there k-members so to say these are not structually strong is a joke, I would go with either one of these, they are very light and very strong! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jph331</b> <br /><small>Member # 665</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,13,7,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> A lot of NMRA racers also use <a href="http://www.paracing.net/ford_products1.htm" target="_blank">http://www.paracing.net/ford_products1.htm</a><br />I have the D&D which header clearance was no better than stock.
