I understand your concerns regarding public viewing of your email address. This topic is still in discussion. In regards to each of your Yuku profiles I do not know how to assist you. Each time I click a Yuku account I get at least 3 different styles and formats. I assumed this was a result of there...

If you already post at a yuku forum you can use your yuku profile to use the new Manx Club boards. You do not have to re-register. When you try to post on the new MC boards you will be asked to submit a small application. I just gave my name, city, and member number and I got an email later saying I...

I have a roller pedal in my buggy. The roller pedal is much more responsive to your foot. Changing the pedal isn't too difficult although you will have to remove your pedal assembly to remove the pivot pin holding the OE pedal rocker in place. Your pedal is currently a two piece pedal, the flat foot...

Looks like the Manx Club is switching to yuku. Here''s a link to register for the yuku forums and communities. I frequent a couple of dune buggy forums that use the yuku board format and it's pretty effortless once you know how it works. You can even link your Photobucket account to easily post pics...

You should be able to find press in SAE studs at any parts house. The type of wheel and nut that will be used will determine the size of stud and thread. The Chevy 5x4? bolt pattern refers to the number of studs (5) and the diameter of the imaginary circle (4?) where the studs are located. edit... I...

My vote is cast for the less than 300 mile trip. I love driving my buggy but frankly it is quite tiring at times. With the combination of the wind buffeting you, the noise from the engine, and the somewhat rough ride you get beat up after a while. Sometimes I have a difficult time relaxing. I've nev...

I'm only online when I run out of parts or money. Lately I have lots of time on my hands. I'd love to be out in the garage improving the buggy but unfortunately those things are on hold.
