Some K Car safety lore for you. Please check.

On the front cross member, the steering rack is held on by two big screws that fasten to blind nuts welded to the inside of the hollow X-member. Those blind nuts often come adrift and can cause much front end weirdness and can even be dangerous.

Had to do a little creative welding on mine. Not a really big deal ....but....please check. Great car. Also, if it's a turbo, make sure it isn't making any noise. Don't want blades going through that funky engine! Get an R-12 license online and have fun!

How did you like Livermore Falls?

Thank you for the helpful advice.

I'm going to send it to the guy who restored the car...and see what he says about me needing to worry about it. Thanks for the heads up!

I don't remember going thru Livermore Falls on the way to Rangeley.....we stopped along the way whenever we saw a lot of white water. Poked around Coos Canyon. The little general store was still closed. Goodness there is a lot of water coming south!
