I like your remote air cleaner set up. Did you fabricate the air box on top of the carb? What are the rest of the parts? Your ground strap to the roll bar mount bracket bolt is clever. Is that a Nardi? What kind of adapter?

Thanks for the nice words everyone. The remote air filter set up consists of a stock VW Ghia air filter connector with an air filter at the end, supported by the fan shroud. The wheel is a Grant Signature model.

I mistook the license plate bracket for an airbox. When you mount your license plate you might need to put some kind of small rub strip on the back of the plate if it contacts the alternator. The license plates used to clear the old generators but the alternators stick up higher.

The bracket is bent so the plate misses the alternator...

Who did you get the roll bar from? It looks as if it might fit the contours of mine & I'm in the market for one. Thanks.

Roll Bar

It has the Manx roll bar that came with the Siggy. See Winnie at Meyers Manx.

Not wanting to steal the thread... but...I have put the Manx Club's roll bars in a couple different buggys and it fits great. I have put it in an EMPI IMP, Sand Shark, and a Desert Fox.
