Hi,
I have a Manx Clone dune buggy (think Irwin is the make) and I'm looking for somewhere to buy bubble side pods in Canada.
Also open to somewhere in the US that has free or cheap shipping to BC Canada.
Thanks!

I got mine from Johns Bug Shop in Welland Ontario. They are for Berrien bodies but fit my clone ok.

I have a set of unmounted side pods that came from Canadian buggies based in peachland....not sure if he’s still in business anymore but his moulds were excellent.
Off topic but is that the buggy that was for sale in Qualicum?

Might be this guy.. http://www.dunebuggiescanada.com/ordering.htm

BTW, you guys dont like the side pods with air vents? I am thinking of making or getting these for mine, will custom fab some ducts with water traps to help cool the engine.

Did you just buy that buggy?
I live in Parksville and noticed a very similar (the same?) buggy that was for sale.

Yea I just bought I a couple of weeks ago from Qualicium beach. Needs a couple of small things adjusted but overall pretty happy with it.
Thanks for the help! I'll try the places suggested.
