Manx Club

I used standard, off-the-shelf seat bases for dune buggies. The VW parts store in orlando had them in stock. The driver's side moves forward and back and the passenger's side tilts forward for access to the rear. The position to the steering wheel while driving is comfortable.

but will a fiberglass roof sit correctly at that height? Does anyone have a fiberglass roof?

I think it's too low. It looks better with the foam around it, but if I lay a yardstick across from roll bar and windshield my head touches it. I'm only average height.

I have a Manx 2 and I'd like to add the Manx fiberglass roof. I plan to have the buggy painted next month. I want a roll bar that can handle a seat belt shoulder bracket and attach the roof. It doesn't look like the roll bar available on the Manx site is suitable for a seatbelt so I need to have one...

I just got my Manx buggy about 2 weeks ago. It's authenticated and the original serial number is 1548. At the moment it's complete but...

I took these photos with my cell phone this evening.  This top came with my Manx buggy when I bought it.  I know the photos aren't very good, but you can see the snaps at the winshield are on the underside of the windshield frame, and there is a C channel running up the sides to hold the side curtai...
