The k-member was cut for my rear sump previously and the oil pan has been changed to a front sump so I have some extra room. A template was made so that I can take advantage of this extra space with my power steering pump. Lines will be very short to the steering rack and I can mount the reservoir next to my swirl pot. The plate steel was mounted by drilling holes through the k-member into the plate steel. I would have finished the center section of the mount... but my drill sh1t the bed on me. I'll probably knock the rest of it out over this weekend.
The mount was going to be plasma cut, but the k-member was cut with a sawzaw and didn't require precision. Good enough was just fine for this. Although... I transferred the template to a thin piece of cardboard and tested twice before I cut the metal. Mounting screws will be nipped down to size just past the nut. Also, the MA Motorsports mount will be welded to the cut out area in the plate and Ill likely put a skid plate on because it will hang a bit below the k-member.
