Fellas; I saw this on another thread. Are these custom (read: home made) or vended? Are they welded or bolted? VERY nicely done. What I term "quietly elegant".

I think I remember from another site that he had made that rear bumper cage. That style was very popular in the 80s on Baja Bugs. On the Baja's it use the frame horn bolts for lower mounts and top mounts to the bug's firewall There is a picture of one in Jeff Hibbard's book "Baja Bugs & Buggies" on page 88 showing it and another style at the top of the page. The Manxter's rear bumper cage is in the same style.

No - it is not mine - - - it is yellermanx's self build. at last count, he had three manx bodies. He is quite the inventive sort and has a knack for building stuff at home. Ask him about his front bumper - - you will get a smile out of it. If you cant reach him here, you can get him at another site (samba).. Last I knew his email was yellermanx@yahoo.com
