Re: Newbie Buggy shopping

Well... the first thing I would do is check the psi in each tire! Depending on size or tire & wheel it can vary, just as personal preference! Before driving, I'd make sure the seller didn't mind if I adjusted the air pressures to about 12 psi front & 10-12 psi rear! Like I said though... th...

Re: Manx Safari? Help to Identify it

I would say "whoever" got the "SAFARI" part right!!! It has the Safari hood!!! I could tell you more, if you posted a photo of the dash & the rear of the buggy!!! One thing is for sure... You can have just as much FUN FUN FUN in it, as you can in any other brand of f/f buggy...

Re: Windshield Seal

I've never seen anyone use the silicone caulk, but I don't know why it wouldn't work!!! Most use the channel shade rubber molding that has a flat wider bottom, but mine was destroyed years ago when I redid our buggy & I never replaced it!!! Ours fits tight enough at the top of the dash/hood // ...
