I'm interested in making some interior side panels for the driver, passenger area
and the back seat for my Manx.
Does anybody have the dimensions of the interior tub?

Why not just measure the one you have and make a carboard template ?

Its a complex, shape with curves, wide tolerances and the dimensions change, bottom to top, front to back and even side to side. I agree with Hot Air, the only way you'd have any chance of making panels which decently fit is measure your own.

well I was just thinking if someone has already taken the time and made a template and has the measurements it would save me some time.
Instead of measuring, cutting cardboard and paper I could get on with cutting some material.

Every buggy is at the least, a little different.
