I figured it would but was not sure. The pans are basically the same except for the front footwell area but am not certain of the rear shock mounting area.

Hey Craig, had anybody fit these to a Manx with IRS? I'm keen on a set but wondering if they'll go around the spare wheel well tub and battery tub (which have been slightly modified to clear the IRS trailing arms). If so, pix would be awesome!!

Run a piece of string between the shock towers, this will give you an idea if the top bar will hit anything. Then just run a string line from the shock towers down to the front of the gearbox.............this will also let you know if the bars will hit anything.😎

The 73 model doesn't have any 'forks' under the gearbox........so it won't actually be mounting to anything........unless you want me to make up a cradle for the gearbox??

Just a reference post for the people that have purchased the 5 bar kit.

4 tabs are supplied with the kit to be welded to the pan. 2 of the tabs have a curved bottom and 2 are just straight.
The curved tabs are for the bars that face towards the front of the car, and are designed to meet the contour of the forks.These tabs need to be welded parallel to the torsion tube (as per picture)

The straight bottom tabs are for the bars that go to the back of the car. These tabs are welded parallel to the forks (as per picture)

I hope this helps with your install 😎
