Re: Manxter Hood Prop Ideas

Use a gas strut like Oliver did on his Subi-Manxter

I have see 1/8" aircraft cable also used.
Be sure to put a couple of twists in it so it will coil up when you close the hood

Re: 1st ride of the 2015 season - March 28th, 31°F

Well it is not the Manxter.

I see you went 30' feet before going in the 1st puddle.

Great to see the buggy out for the season.

In fact I use several pounds of "Decon" to feed them each winter.

Re: Gas Tank Sealant Breakdown

Not at all unusual with the EPA spec fuel that is sold today.
Seems like the higher ethanol percentages cause the sealant to fail.
