Phildaupho Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Not that this inquiry will help me with my current project but as a result I have become very intrigued with 32 Ford K-members. I would be interested in finding out if a representative k-member is available in 1/25 scale and also seeing scratch-built k-members. Even finding good images on-line seemed difficult. This is my attempt at coming up with a k-member for mounting a pre-1940's Ford transmission. I have also included some images of what I am led to believe is an actual 32 Ford k-member. Thanks for your input.

That's a real one. Something to remember if you're building period rods...that K-member often got heavily hacked or replaced completely. One popular old-time mod to those frames was grafting in the X-member from a junkyard '34 Ford.
Mark Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Closest thing I can think of would be in the AMT '29 Ford double kit, the part used on the rod chassis. And that is cut down quite a bit, to fit into a Model A frame. That was done a lot when early Ford V8 running gear was fitted to an A chassis. If you get some measurements, you can probably scratch an acceptable piece. I'd use about .020" sheet styrene for all parts of it. Some fiberglass body manufacturers have diagrams, with measurements, of Ford chassis. You ought to be able to find one online, print it, and scale it up/down to 1/25 scale.
