In a Manxter with PRP seats and the rear Meyers Manx seats, are side slots required to get the lap belts to fit correctly across the hip? I can't tell in any pictures if the sides of the seats are high enough to prevent the belts from fitting snugly. No. I am not using the side slots for a factory ...

John, You are exactly right. I went down an inexpensive and very effective path to add some sound (other than wind and motor noise) to our buggy. I bought a motorcycle blue tooth amp and speaker set and have been running it for years. Amazingly you can actually hear the music and make out the song ...

I've purchased a Sombrero top from TJ Kustoms. I'm looking for advice on attachment points before I make anything permanent.

How does WiFi run out?

I finally got the windshield flipped. Very easy to do with no issues. Spent the morning at the Treasure Coast V Dub show in Stuart, FL.

These pictures show the bolts holding the windshield are fastened to a clip on the inside. Should make for an easy removal. Still have to figure out swappi...

Thank you for the insight. 1st, yes, I have joined the Manx Club & dues were paid. I've sent a letter to Mrs. Manx regarding an updated certificate in my name, the body has already been authenticated. I am trrying to figure out why the windshield was put on the way it was. The channel is clearly...

I guess one of my first questions is about the windshield. It would appear that mine is on backwards with the channel facing the rear. I ask because one of the first things I'd like to do is but a Bimini top on. I'd rather not have to drill a whole bunch of snaps into the frame. Is it an easy proced...

I purchased this from a very nice gentleman in Ohio and had it shipped down to FL.






Many questions to ask, many lessons to learn. I've solved the first mystery (where to put the fuel) and the rest will just have to wait while we put miles on her.
