    Hi I`m putting a 39 trans in my deuce frame but the holes will not match, are there different type of k-member or is it just bad made trans-mount (se pic)

    The bolting for the motor/transmission mount are the same for all 32's. Braces and other holes can be different.

    Looks like a bad repro part. Let us know the brand so we can stay away from it.
     
  4. Did you try rotating it 180 degrees?

    Looks like a bad part, I just checked mine and it's mis-aligned as well. Not quite as much.

    Well.we are in the market for a mount too and being way down under . We would like for sure to know the brand that fits and the ones that don’t. We can’t feasibly do returns. Split the beans please. Will save a big hassle fitting a poorly made part ,

    Have one currently in use on a chassis & did not have that issue however purchased several years ago but don't recall the vendor, normally purchase when free shipping advertised from Drake or others offering likewise.

    Save yourself a bunch of grief-----install a T-10 4 speed.

  9. I can't imagine there is a range of manufacturers to select from. Vendors maybe, but not manufacturers.

    [Have a couple of T5s and a couple of 3 speed top loaders all work exactly as intended. With the right gearing . With flatheads and Y bocks I can’t see the advantage of a 4 speed.

    tbh id just make it fit, beggars cant be choosers as they say, not like there are 500 companies making these sorta parts anymore.

    Are we Hotrodders or Fitters?;)

    I got one from Ajays in 2017, - no problems with it. Reasonable price, cheaper than I expected and cheaper than trying to import just that part.

    Thanks for answers
    Sorry but I can`t find any letters or logotype that tells the manufacturer, I live in Sweden and I bought the trans complete with mount from the States so I don`t know where it came from
     
  16. Bought mine from Vern

    Not sure of the misalignment of the original posting however the chimed in photos with respect to fastener tolerance may be of little consequence, actual assembly would tell.
