Manx Club

Chris I have the same issue with my early square back. My body is 1/2 inch lower on the left and 1 inch to the left of center also. It has always been that way and I had thought they just took it out of the mold before it had fully cured to get the next body done since they only supposedly had the o...

Cairomanx I think the yellow Manx must have sold.  It has been taken off Craigslist since my post.   I presume someone saw the post and snatched it up.  The seller did not mention the windshield but he did send me the additional pictures posted.  If you would like his email send me a private post.  ...

Chris The yellow body above was rough but I think repairable and only a few miles away. Was really tempted but passed as my non-reliable out of warranty 73K VW Touareg has been in the shop 3 times in the last few weeks.  So no extra budget for buggy projects for a while. I think your doing great on ...

Chris, Somebody was certainly creative with this Manx.  After seeing both taillights I admit being partial to the beetle light rather than the bus one.  I wonder if that bus light is visible from behind at that angle.   Also partial to the chrome light housing on the floorpan body rather than the po...

Joe,

What is the color on Bob's Manx in Mesa?  I don't know what handle he goes by on the forum.

Since LED's require less power can you use them them on a 6 volt system?  

There was a post in the Dune Buggy Tech Center by MyBlueBuggy labeled "Deciphering a Meyers Manx serial number"  3/8/11  that listed Manx paint colors.  On the list are 2 greens in solid colors:  31S Lime Green, 32S Dark Green. and 3 greens in metal flake. 19E Spring Green, 21E River Green...

Chris 

Interesting pictures.  Is there some type engine / exhaust combination that requires that sump bump.  I have a ton of clearance in that area.

I do not have a "sump bump" to clear the exhaust header.  There is a good 4-5" of clearance at the bottom and rear of the tire well to the exhaust.  My tire well is identical to the well in your red body picture above.  The only indention is to clear the shock tower.  Folks used to mo...

Better picture of NOS mounts

Chris,

Does not hurt to put the bus tail light on and see what they look like.  A picture is worth a 1000 words. 

No foil sticker, no installation kit, no bump in tire well to clear exhaust headers.  Look at the installation kit above.  You can make your own parts or get Z bars and back tub to rear shock tower strap from Bruce and Winnie at one time $40 last time I saw a post on them..  Not sure if still availa...

The body did not come with a windshield.  That was fine with me.  At the time I wanted the extruded windshield you see on it as the top was a much cleaner fit into the channel rather than the exposed snaps you typically see.    Looking back at originality hmmmm maybe outsmarted myself.  Yes it is in...
