why not?

Just a guess, but I think he had issues with people stealing his design.

Does anyone know if this guy is still building the k-members? I have noticed in the past that there are several people that use his stuff and its real nice. My friend has been trying to contact him and has not been successfull. I actually have 2 friends trying to reach LRT. His K is exactly what we are looking for. We arent interested in the coil over front ends for our applications.

I talked to Rob @ LRT Chassis today. He is waiting for billet steering arms to be finished bfore he builds any more K frames!
He is having them made now, should be done in 1-2 weeks.
So if you can wait a little while you can get one of LRT's
tubular K frames. Don

Any pictures of LRT K frame?

I wish I would have weighed everything. I didn't like having
to use the 73-up disc spindles. (HEAVY)

pretty sure mine which one of has been lightened are the earlier that used Kelsey discs but there's no brake kit to fit them. I had to have new rotors specially cut as none are sold.

I think we had the same set-up.

Interesting reply in that I recently contacted him for updated steering arms. I would be glad to post his email reply...

which was...

he was not interested in helping out.

I'll believe 1 to 2 weeks when h311 freezes over.

I will be replacing mine with an AlterK. I might then have mine available.

I contacted him about a year and a half ago, and he was nice on the phone to me and said he had some Chrysler Engineer helping with the new design steering arms and that they took care of the brake shake and shimmy problem as long as I cut .300 off the back side of the spindle. I told him I wanted a set, and went and got a set of spindles and cut them. He told me he would send them out asap. I have tried to contact him for about 6 months after that and finally gave up.
Like his stuff.
Just wish it worked 100% and his customer relations would as well. People have bashed me on here about this many times, and I really don't care, because they really don't know the frustration Myself, My Dad, My Brother , and a few Friends went through to make this set-up work. Plus the extra $1500.00 I spent willingly to get it there. We had it in and out at least a dozen times trying this and trying that, doing everything I was told to try. All I heard was how I was the only one with issues and we didn't know what we were doing, but I still have 10 plus peoples emails with issues, whom I chose not to post to be the better person.
This isn't a bash, Just a Lifes Lesson.
Because as I have said a million times, It looks great, and handles great at speed, but the shutdown gets a little hairy at times.

Call BondoBob !!!!!!!!

As far as BondoBob's k being a copy cat, come on man, any good fabricator can come up with a similar design without even seeing an LRT.

---

In one of Bondo's threads on here Rob accused him of stealing his steering arm design. To me, Bob's were not that close to Rob's, and Rob's are not that much different than the AJE ones I have, or the ones a buddy of mine built for his Valiant 10 years ago.

I had Bob make some one-off ball joint cups for my Daytona. I had an idea in my head what they should look like, but just let Bob do his thing. He made them exactly how I was thinking they should be. Did he steal my idea, or is it just the fact that there are only so many ways you can do something?
