I have a four seater "Manx" on a standard pan. I would like to see about replacing the ball joint front end with an A-Arm suspension. Has anyone done this and have pictures?
Thanks.
Al

Go to A-arm.com. Pete has a kit for both Ball joint and LP/KP frontends...

This set-up's available in the UK, well engineered and bolts in place of the stock beam but a bit too expensive for me...

This shows how Pete's bolts directly to the pan.

Thank you everyone for the replies.
Tom KAthleen - It is currently a street car that is used in the hard pack desert occasionally. We want to go play in the dunes.
fulsgold and 5150bossman - Yes, I had looked at A-Arm and spoke with Pete.
manxdavid - That front end looks cool and looks like it would work great for the sports car in me.
What I guess I am really after is something that has been built from scratch similar to what I have seen on sand rails. I have also seen it (I think) in an older Hot VW's and Dune Buggy.
Thanks for your input.

I recently received this reply from Red 9 design. The converted cost is approximately $2200.00 US including shipping.
Hi Tom,
Shipping to you would be about £240.00, just quoted a guy from N.California! His is on order now!!!!
The Unit itself is £1245.00
Cheers
