See his thread under Ricks Restoration...very informative for restorations. Hi Mike. Please see the attached shots. This is a...

Hi guys. Nelson brought up a good point and I am attaching a picture of the no bump sump for reference. Mike 1991, do you have the bump in the sump for the header?Is it possible that this was also transitioned around the time of the extruded frame? Am also attaching a picture of the monocoque (#4 th...

the new IKEA manx

Mike and Nelson, When you mentioned the bumpout in the spare tire sump, I recalled not seeing one in mine. I reviewed my pictures and I can say for certain there is no bump out area for the header. When did that start? Yes, I can make the brackets...just was curious what they looked like exactly. I ...

Do the TR3 seats flip forward (as in the seat backbeing hinged?) Do any of you have a photo of the front fuel tank Z bend brackets for the fuel tank mouunt? There were none mounted to my manx....the rear brackets above the shock towers were there...the roll bar brackets to the rear suspension are no...

I found this on the Samba and had to buy it...seemed that only a couple of people commented on it which surprised me. I could not believe that I was looking at an early manx for sale. More pictures later but add this to the early manx registry. I am particularly stoked as it is the "missing lin...

Hello everyone,I have Manxter 34 and I need to replace the rear view mirror. Currently it is mounted to a tubing clamp to the roll cage but it is a really kludged looking thing. What have you used on your cars for the center rear view mirror? I am tall so I am a bit limited with options (like Wink m...

Yes...Eastwood makes a tank sealant. Consider flipping an entire car around to coat the tank...Yikes.I used a military sealant which was impervious to jet fuel, diesel, gasoline etc. but not alcohol....they did not disclose that at the time..I received a bulletin about it since I had purchased the m...

Yes, that is an option to consider however I have not been able to find anyone that could make a bladder that would fit into the hole and expand into the two sumps on either side of the transmission. The trouble has been with the number of seams required to make the bladder conform to the inside sha...

I had tried to attach images but they did not attach for some reason. I am trying again.. http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/3e81646aa29c2e8d52b9378b6147822d0613e2eb_r.jpg http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/40f362426184ac0d97f12a5282d959877d10ecfc_r.jpg http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/8dd16963a29f22875...

I thought I would add a new thread here about my monocoque fuel tank issues. You may have read a bit about this problem last year when I went to Carlisle and the tank decided to finally give the last heave ho. Forgive me if you all know about monocoques but for those that do not, the monocoque is a ...
