What's everyone doing about fibreglass parts these days? I have a buyer interested in my old buggy but it never had a nose cone or rear arches. Are they available from anywhere or Dave Smart been seen recently?

My old buggy for sale. Had it about 10 years and never managed to get it on the road. :( Managed to get it running a couple of years ago and drove it around a field for an hour but that was the only running it's ever done. - Part built up poder coated chassis - 1275 MG Metro Vanden Plas engine...

1275 Unleaded buggy. Now open to offers around £2k BAD POINTS: No MOT (mainly because I'm not insured on this so can't drive it to the MOT station). Handbrake will probably need adjusting to pass. Nothing else I'm aware of but it's been SORN for about 12-13 months so who knows. Cycle computer...

The time has come to sell up :-\ Arrgh, just realised how huge my post is. To summarise: 1 road legal buggy. 1 part built buggy. various spare engines and parts. £3000 no offers I'm hoping to sell it all together as I think that having a road legal buggy along with the second chassis is a...

Just come to bolt up the subframe and run into an unexpected problem... The old chassis had 2 little circular lips which matched the ones on the subframe, like this... However, the new chassis doesn't have these, so the subframe ones poke through and there's a couple of mm play when the...

No, it's not a question my wife asked me.... These brackets were bolted to the subframe but I'm switching to a new subframe and don't see what they are for. They aren't on my other buggy

Is there anywhere to get the lenses for the rear lights. I think they are the ones that Dave used to sell. Have the indicator, brake and rear lights in one unit. Just needs the coloured cover. Damn thing must have fallen off while I was out and about cos it's gone now :-[

Are there any rules here to prevent us linking to other similar forums? There is another similar forum that is organising a day on a dirt track in Wales. The track also has various off road areas and looks like it would be a hell of a lot of fun.

Anyone tried these on the freestyle? If so, do they fit OK? Any good?

Loaded the buggy (now named "The Grass Cutter") on my mates trailer today and took her to a field for a little fun testing Huge fun.  ;D ;D Was hard to get the power down in the wet field and occasionally popped out of gear when we hit a heavy rut but she survived intact. With the wheels...

Sorry for all you guys who were interested but Cedric came to his new home this morning. He's fully registered as freestyle & was SVA'd on 1st July, not been on the road since 2006, been used around farm land & you can tell by the amount of Staffordshire mud I brought back with me. It's either...

I have adjustable ride height at the rear but not sure how high to set it. Anyone have any suggestions for field use?

Anyone got any simple DIY ways of measuring the toe in/out on front and rear of the buggy?

Had my buggy on 12" knackered old wheels while I've been building it. The back always had visible positive camber. Just put the 10" wheels on it and all of a sudden the positive camber looks way worse, almost comical. So does camber change with wheel size or is it just an optical illusion?

Morning! I'm about the fit some wheels for ragging around in a field. Not sure the 10" ones I have will be best so I was thinking 14 or 15" Is there anything (cheap) that will fit directly without messing about. I don't understand offset and all that so was hoping there is something I can...
