Picture showing my rear disc brakes, I used a Wilwood mechanical caliper for the parking brakes. They utilize the factory cables with the exception of the fact that they have been shortened.

Another picture of my rear brakes.

CNC front disc brakes along with an aluminum beam. I recently bought chrome trailing arms and spindles to replace the powdercoated gray pieces.

Checking out the ride height..It needs adjustable springplates, the back is too high.

I still don't know why this Manx has a matching metalflake dash. It's not a Manx 2.

This and the following 4 pictures are of my red metalflake Manx, the day I brought it home.
I purchased it the way you see it on the trailer, for $125.00. The guy I bought it from, bought the Manx, complete and drivable. He proceeded to remove the body from the pan then cut the pan up to use the parts to build his new sandrail. The Manx body and the rest of the parts were sitting next to his trash cans in the alley. From what I understand it was sitting in the alley for 2 months. What was this Bozo thinking? The white stickers between the battery and spare tire well are quality control inspection stickers from the B.F. Meyers Company.

Does anyone know what the resettable "Odometer" to the lower right of the speedo is used for?

Wipers,lights,hardtop and fuel filler came with the Manx.

I plan on using the hardtop on my orange Manx. I will probably paint it white, I really like the David Jones orange buggy looks with the white hardtop. I think being on the otherside of the pond puts us far enough apart so both buggys won't end up at the same stoplight at the same time.

I can't believe how crooked the snaps for the rear window were installed in both the hardtop and the body.
In this picture it is really visable on the hardtop.

Now I have to do something about that ugly engine.

MANX Hardtop Door outside.
Left hand side is the front of the door.
The fabric is the same fabric that convertible tops are made from, very stiff. Contrary to popular belief, it's not Naugahyde.
These are ORIGINAL MANX HARDTOP DOORS, I have the receipt from the original purchaser.

MANX Hardtop Door Inside.
Front of door is on right.
The 2 straps snap to snaps mounted on the inside of the body, to hold the doors shut.
The bottom edge of the door is rolled under in the picture (sitting too long). It is actually a flap that sits on the top of the fender to seal against the weather.

MANX Hardtop Door rear snaps.
The snaps snap to the top to hold the door shut.

MANX Hardtop Door front.
This is actually the hinge that slips into the windshield frame.
