Manx Club

Pete, Your whole Car looks fantastic! Front and rear suspension, steering, cage and all the other work that went into your Buggy. I only hope that there is enough notice for all of us that are following your build-up, to be there when you drive it out of the shop. VERY NICE! I hope to be there in pe...

jspbtown, I doubt that it's a long process. Unfortunately you sent your info. to Winnie and Bruce as they were up to there burro's in getting prepared for the "Lollygagging in Lone Pine Run". It started today 10/21/05 and ends on 10/23/05. Everything grinds to a slow crawl when they are pr...

Manxdavid, Thanks for the info, I'm still trying to get this brace issue resolved one way or another, so it's trouble free and solid. Bob

Shaky, Thanks for the pic, looks strong and well made, but I can only guess what it would cost to ship it across the pond. Does the person have a website, and is that the only piece he sells? Thanks, and hope the jet lag is better! Bob

seabeeBuggy, that cage looks great, is/was Rob, "myspeedbuggie" involved in that one? Thanks, Bob

Shaky, Boy when you go out for breakfast you really go for a real ride! No problem, always glad to have people from across the pond come for breakfast. LOL Did you find anything of interest way over here on the other pond edge? Bob

Dennis, I had my original Dietz headlight assy's rechromed here in SoCal. They cost me about $70,00 each. High yes, compared to Taiwan knock-offs, but they are original. And they look as nice today as the day I picked them up at the plater's. 6+ years and holding, no rust, no discoloring, and they a...

Steve, Welcome, first thing I would do is to measure from the outside edge of the front bulkhead (at the corners) to the outside edge of the rear corners and try to determine a basic length dimension of the pan mounting area of the F/G body. Then do the same to the stock length VW pan body mounting ...

As per my previous post mentioned, I will pass any info/sketches/dimensions/modifications/opinions and pics on to anyone that needs or wants it when its available and help other owners as they have helped me with my Manx2 project. Bob

Shaky, Anyway to get some pics and dollar figures as to what it looks like and possible to have one find its way across the pond to the colonies? lol Thanks, Bob [QUOTE=shaky]The reason that I asked is because I have just bought one from a guy here in the UK. You know what it is like. You order some...

Scott, No offense taken, No problems here. I understand your reasoning as I to am also trying to learn as much as I can about my Manx2. And if you look at the posts that you listed, I was the person that started them or was posting in them trying to get more info and find out what should have been u...

Shaky, Sorry, yes we are, I've been trying to find out if the Berrien steering support brace is a useable item or if it is a waste of money. Also if the Manx2 had originaly come with a steering column brace or relied on the one piece F/G hood and dash to support the column. I tried to get a Siggy st...

Scott and all, We were discussing our Manx2's only, differences and similarities. That is all. We were not plotting against you, any others or the MC. The post is about a steering brace made by Berrien, and we tried not to lead it astray. Sorry for your feeling left out. Bob [QUOTE=WuZaBuG]I dont li...

Bill, Trying to! Bob

Thanks Jon, I sent you an answer Fri. eve 6:00 west coast time. Bob
