Projects Vern Tardel Model A K-member

Does anyone know if Tardel is going to be making any more of these K-members for the Modal A? I have noticed they have been sold out for quite some time and have emailed them with no response.

Is there another option beside finding an original K-member?

 

@Benny28 made this one
i think its the nicest and cleanest ive seen using stock A cross

 

F-1 and use the pedals also

 

I agree, an F1 with the pedal set up works good

 

Where do you source the F1 setup from?

 

Dave Havlir at House Of Fab posts on HAMB and makes them.

Any 1948-1952 Ford pickup.

 

f1 aint as easy as it looks

 

compared to the pic you posted I would call it very easy ... couple of pie cuts and a new hole to move pedals to the side , 4 new bends in the pedals and shortening the bell crank ... I’ve had them done and working in a afternoon...

I have done something similar to your pic many years ago, given the opportunity I would chose the f-1 cross every time

 

It is pretty easy. I didn't even move the pedals. They worked perfectly in the stock mounting holes. No need to bend the pedals.

 

I also support the F1 setup. My car has that setup. And I was able to mount my wishbone to it. Win Win.

This is what I made for mine. I will be adding diagonal braces when I get around to it.
