Re: Manxter Hood Prop Ideas

Tsfr. I have all the stuff to do mine. I will post pics once I get it all sorted. The plan is to use a double stick tape to get the position right and then I will fiberglass them onto the hood. I will probably then cover in raptor lining.

I was thinking of trimming the lip of the dash tub that extends towards the gas tank area and then bolting it to the firewall. I figured that I may be able to get...

Re: Steering fixture for dual sport

I have the steering column. I have designed the " donut" that will mount the steering column to the plate. I had so much trouble trying to find any information or detail pictures in it. My machining guy will make it like a split shaft collar. It's gonna cost a bit more than a split washer ...
