Manx SR2 Build

Not much new to post at this time. Fall is always busy for me through the holidays. My work area is not heated and this Michigan winter has been pretty brutal so far. In a few weeks I will be ready to go back at it. The car is mechanically complete. I am ready to do some fiberglass / body work befor...

Made a couple heavy duty roll bar anchor plates.

4619

The fiberglass tub fits neatly around them. They are angled back to match the back wall of the tub. This also maximized the seat travel.
The roll bar and the seat belt retractors will bolt the these.

I used this simple setup to transfer the location of my roll bar support pads to the inside of the tub. 3608 Now the holes are drilled in the correct location, through the tub and the rear support brackets, tied to the upper shock mounts. 3609 Completed front support brackets between front axle beam...
