Re: Tow'd Rear Axle U Bolts

I'm a bit late to the game on this but am looking for a set of these bolts. I've seen a couple of different posts on replacement bolts on this forum. 1 was for a 2.75 id 9/16" bolt and another was for the 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 15R 32 round u bolt that Tom used. I measured the torsion id on ...

Re: My new Manx 2

Now the parts collecting begins. I have long chassis for each that need shortening but really no parts for the bodies.

Re: My new Manx 2

Looks Great!!, Miguel does amazing work, we are very happy with what he did to repair our Resorter body. He really does. I wish I counted all the holes he had to fill on the blue body. It looks like it's a brand new body. He even fixed the Manx tag that had been cut in two. He glued it to another p...

Re: My new Manx 2

Hard to believe this is the same body. Thanks to Miguel Diaz it's better than new.

Re: Uncut never mounted Manx 2

On the lower passenger side of the rear seat is this sticker. It may be molded in to the fiberglass. You can see it from the backside too and the image is backwards. It must have been put on from the backside.

Uncut never mounted Manx 2

I just found this out in the California desert. Didn't get a hood with it so if anyone has a spare I'd be interested.

Build date was March 1970 and color is 10E Brilliant Fire Red.

Re: Bounty Hunter resurrection and build thread

A little sanding and some paint and the hole is now gone. The paint match is not ideal but the area where it's blended is covered by upholstery so will never show. There is also some black over spray that makes the older green look a little different. IMG_6557.jpg IMG_6700.jpg This was the splash mo...

Re: Bounty Hunter resurrection and build thread

It's been a while since I posted but I am making progress. I made a splash mold from another buggy and used it for the general shape of the repair. Once I had that I fixed it to the front side and added a layer of wax paper and starter laying down resin and fiberglass. IMG_6532.jpg IMG_6534.jpg IMG_...

Re: Mantaray II Kyote

I found a nice set of seats. They were sold as Porsche Speedster seats. Looks like a good fit.

It's got a full set of the Generation 1 Empi gauges. I need to find the cover for the engine. They are often missing

Mantaray II Kyote

I just picked up this cool Mantaray II Kyote. These were designed by Dean Jeffries. It's on a 1969 pan that needs shortening. The fiberglass is busted up a bit so there are repairs in the future. It's going to be a fun project. I'm on the lookout now for a set of seats, windshield, engine, tranny, a...

WTB: shortened IRS PAN and Manx parts

I'm looking for an IRS pan and a few other parts for my recently acquired Manx 2. Would prefer already shortened but realize I can't be too picky. In a perfect world I'd find a better body that wasn't cut in two and riddled with holes. If you have a good Meyers Manx body or complete MM buggy I'd pos...
