I test fitted my k-member a few weeks ago and am not getting enough clearance on the side that is not cut. Mine is cut just like the Monster Miata ones. Can I just mirror the cut on the other side? Or would that remove too much material?
Don't know if this will help, but.....I modded a spare subframe last summer with the intent of replacing Martin's Monster subframe as show on the images below. Hopefully it'll work to get the headers properly oriented and increase the scrub line clearance. Main objective is to allow the use of downswept headers, commonly known as Hedman mismatch headers. I modded my spare subframe last July, should be driving again in a few weeks.
Yea that looks like that would clear my headers. the side thats already cut clears fine, but the other side is a no go. Cuts look the same as the one I have too.
It's hard to tell on images above, but the passenger side was cut about 1/2" more than the drivers side. This should allow the header to clear the starter and subframe. Just need to get in the shop and get busy welding in motor mounts, thensee what needs tweaking.
