So are you only testing factory stock K frames that have many years of abuse or only NOS units that have been stored in an oxidation free environment?
Or will the K frame be a reinforced K frame by someone like Firm Feel?
Just those 3 examples of factory K frames will yield varied results.
Better yet lets dig up a K frame from an Original Dukes of Hazard jump car.......
Well, let's face it, we can't turn back the sands of time and 99.9% of people out there are not using a NOS K-frame that have been stored in an oxidation free environment that's also never seen the road. Personally, I think it's 100% ok to use factory, used K-frames. Just test a larger sample size instead of testing one. It will help smooth out any variation in the data. I'd test both a stock OEM one, a stock one that's been welded up more, a reinforced Firm-Feel (or similar), and any aftermarket tubular setup that could be borrowed.
