Re: It's been a while.....

Welcome back Olli. For the members that don't know Manxter #33, I thought I could post a pic. The last time I saw it, Bruce was driving it.

Mark Bryant #1856 also started a post on this forum, to help keep our ideas together. You are both correct, the turn over rate causes us to lose track of posts.

Re: "Hop" in to our Tow'd build.....

Wazabug, If you're looking to replace those long U-bolts, that hold the rear torsion assembly in place. I found company in Plattsburgh, NY to make them for me.

Re: Is there going to be a 2016 ECVW?

Having been part of both ECVW14 and 15, I will say, at this time we have no plans for a ECVW2016. I live in New Jersey, and would be willing to help you with receiving your buggy from shipment and secure it until you arrive. I am 520 miles from Joe. A trip from here to Joe and onto Manx In The Middl...

Re: Led replacement bulbs?

I replaced my rear signal/brake lights with a LED bulbs I picked up in Walmart for about fourteen dollars. Working nicely, without addition resistors needed. Still running incandescent bulbs up front.

product picture looks identical to what I installed, although a different brand.

Re: Manx On The Banx 2015 - Official Thread

Tom, the track lane is around 11 inches wide. It has two rods that come up through the track, the cars rest against the rods until a pin is pulled, the rods rotate forward under spring tension, releasing the two cars at the same time. If you need a exact lane measurement, the track is Vince's house ...

Re: Join me (Madmanx) as I do the 2015 Manx Over The Falls

Re: Lowering The Sides of a Meyers Manx???

You can use the side nerf bars, as a step and overhead roll bar/cage as a handhold to help pull yourself into the buggy, then turn and sit. Couple years ago, we carried a step stool in the buggy for someone that just had back surgery, and I worked well.
