Thank you all very much for the compliments.  Actually did not touch the tag other than new rivets and a little wax.  I was fortunate enough to have a manx where the tag didn't get too beat up over the 40+ years.  However those ones that show more aging and character are IMHO awesome!  Thanks again.

Hope you all are having a great summer.  Havin' a blast driving around in the Manx.  Running great, just a few minor things to button up (having seats reupholstered in front and rear).  Thank you for the kind comments.  Here are some mostly finalized pics.  -Ryan http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/26b...

Yea I'm right at about 25mm curve now, I can add some washers to eliminate chatter.  Where is a good range?  Thanks for keeping me on my toes, I am always open to any help or suggestions since this is my first go at this

I received the stock transmission back from Rancho!  I installed the swing assembly with new german rubber boots, bowden tube, clutch cable, throwout bearing.  I used a swageless stud to shorten the clutch cable which I was very impressed with, easy install, and it didn't cut into the cable like the...

I received the front wheels from Tim Gavern and put them on :)  They are 15 x 6 with 5 on 205 bolt pattern, powder coated white.  I can semi-see the finish line, gettin' excited! http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/77626fa6c5dca0002e6f407af035b20ea72857b7_r.jpg http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/aaf16465...

Thanks guys, much appreciated.  You are correct about seeing an SR badge, however I did not know that it was released from the factory like this, I assumed that the previous owner put it on.  Thats pretty cool!
