Manx Club

Years ago I fitted an electric fuel pump to one of my old buggies,, it was armed by a separate switch under the dash. About a month after I sold the buggy, the new owner phoned to say that someone had tried to steal it,,, they broke into the guys garage and managed to fire it up with the fuel that w...

Where are you all?? ,, things seem to have stopped here. I'm not too adventurous on these things at the best of times, but it seems to me that you've all run away someplace...... Where can I find you all now days??

[QUOTE="Mike McCoy;16187"]I guys, I'm a new member. I think I found an original Manx last week in the woods of coastal Oregon. I built a Fibermotive Manx clone in 1971, and now that I live about 2 miles from the Oregon dunes I decided to do it again. Let me describe what I found, and I'll ...

I'm sure Most, if not all the guys looking to buy Manx badges are genuine people who support Bruce & Winnie and like the Meyers Manx products... I can see Winnies point, but in another way, I think by making an item difficult to obtain will only fuel the rip off guys who sell big bucks, hard to ...

Tim, from what I remember, rivet nuts were used on the hinged fiberglass dash flop down panels that Meyers sells. Not sure what size hole your drilling, but another couple of idea's >> I've seen nuts with spring loaded arms that will allow you to drill a hole & pass the bolt through with the nut...

[QUOTE="tim morgan;16043"]So to make the front badge you would use a 2 piece mold?,,,I like that story,,That would be my luck LOL[/QUOTE] If your casting an SR badge its just flat at the bottom so you would pour the silicone over it in the same way..... The later badge is angled, and hollo...

[QUOTE="tim morgan;16039"] http://www.alumilite.com check this site out[/QUOTE] That looks just the place Tim.... Hey,, whist I was looking at that link, something come to mind which made me laugh,,, so thought I'd share it with you guys..... > Years ago a guy I worked with cast up a load ...

Guys, you should be able to buy these products form any good fiberglass suppliers,,,, just tell them your looking to do craft making and casting. There are various types of molding materials like latex, vinamold, alginate etc,, but trust me guys RTV Silicone is by far the best product I know of,, it...

Tim, this resin metal casting is a real simple way of reproducing quality metallic castings by using pure metal in a fine powder form,,, this powder is mixed into casting resin with catalyst. All your need is a container to sit the part in that you want to replicate,,,, when I cast the badge for my ...

[QUOTE="tim morgan;16018"]Im Watching,( Manx Police ) LOL,,Hell Mel Im not uptight.[/QUOTE] Tim, I know your not up tight and its good that you made the point you did. I've been out of making buggies myself (as a living) for quite some time now, its not something that I will EVER return to...

[QUOTE="Manxdavid;16013"]If you're like me and like the quiet life, good food and occasional sex go with the ribbon.... .[/QUOTE] Dave,, I've got a quiet life and the food is not too bad,, but do you think that a ribbon painted on my wife's car will help out on the other issue!!!

Mel, I think the girls win the vote here, after all you DID buy it for them and it is for a very good cause.... Hey, it is an awareness symbol and I cant think of a much better way to make folk aware than painting it on the Manx..

[QUOTE="Manxdavid;16012"]Bear in mind that even if Winnie has any of the repro ones left, the pins on the repro rear badges don't line up with the pins on original badges so more holes will need drilled or (better) the pins cut off the new badges fixed with double sided badge tape.[/QUOTE]...

[QUOTE="tim morgan;16009"]I think you are opening a can of worms,,,There are not any clone GTO's out there but there are a ton of Manx clones,,Bruce and Winnie try to keep the badges away from the clones by making sure you have a real Manx before they would sell you a set of badges,I have ...
