Manx Rebuild........UPDATED 09-11 some pictures..
Finally got my arse into gear and started nailing this beast back together.For those who don't know the old floorpan went a weeee bit rusty and
basically fell to pieces. Started last Wednesday and hope to drive it to Brisbane at the end of this month.I work better under pressure.......

It looks alot like a Brad pan. It's steel checker plate, 2mm from memory so not much difference in weight to a stock pan but much stronger.

MikeM...just coming for a visit.If you send me a password for the Manx site i will post there as well. The pan is a little heavier than the original
one but well and truely makes up for it in strength. Yes Brad made the pan and it was well made. It has a adjustable link pin front and IRS adjustable
rear end (CUSTOM OFFROAD) and 3 inch body stiffener as well. The engine is a 1916 Pobjoy(not steroid) and the injection kit is a redline webber with
48mm throttle bodies. I get to spend from 8 till midnight working on it so I've decided to pull me finger out and get it finished!!!!Will post more
pics nightly. Hope to get the body on in the next 2 days......
