Manx Club

Not a snowflake in sight - Feb 16th President's day drive

CB radio's used to be the rage in communicating with others. In following the club ECWC and WCEC long distance trips I see a number of different setups in buggies from navigation screens with weather info, to radios, or maybe Smart Phone apps such as Waze. My CB is on its last leg or more realistica...

Is the agenda set for Big Bear 2015. Would like to make reservations early. Are their special room blocks/rates at the Northwoods Resort this year? Sign-in on Thursday afternoon again this year?

Interesting latches. Please share info on them.

Do we pick up our event packet on Friday the 12th or is it being mailed courtesy of USPS?

5150bossman No luck on finding any 125 thread pipe nipples you mentioned as of yet.  Spend all day yesterday hitting the small shops in my area.  Are you attending the Big Bear Lake event next month? dcomomanx I only have two, one for the left - one for the right.  No extras.  They pop up occasiona...

Going thru the garage looking for spare parts to carry along in the trip to Big Bear Lake this summer  I found a box with some older Delswift mirrors in it.  They used to be popular on early buggies and were even in the early manx catalog.  Only problem is with mounting them.  Probably why they were...

Seriously considering going to the Big Bear Meet this July 12-14.  Any recommendations on best places to stay in the area.  All I need is clean, indoor plumbing, reasonably priced, and fairly close to the activities.   Open to B&B, hotel, motel, ?  Would like to book July 12-13 before everything...

My intent on this thread was to illustrate that fiberglass dune buggies are once again getting more national attention.  The big auctions in years past had NO buggies presented for sale.   The sale of a restored real Meyers Manx for a good price two years ago at BJ opened a lot of eyes among car ent...

Three buggies went on the block at the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale Arizona today.  None were Manx's but all presented well with good paint and upholstery.   Prices from prior years has encouraged more fiberglass dune buggies to be included in this event even though quality of build and det...

Does anyone have a picture of the Manx roll bar bottom mount L-bracket that mounts to the rear suspension braces?

Would appreciate a picture with schematic of bracket length, wideth, thickness, holesizes.  


Thanks 

 Sub regulator for alternator for clarity.  There appears to be a short circuit somewhere besides the buggy.

Strange as this sounds this worked.  Had the same click no start. After checking battery, cables, fuses, connections at starter in last resort touched a screwdriver to screw holding alternator to generator to check tightness.  Got a spark and car started right up. Decided  to tempt success. Took the...
