Hi
Does anyone have any good tips on fixing side pods, I have just bought some for my LWB

Would probably help if we knew what sort of lwb it is as there are loads.
Mine is a DOON lwb and the sidepods fit with a fibreglass clip onto the body lip at the top plus two metal brackets and bolts through the lower lip of the pan to captive nuts on a flange on the pods.
Then additional bolts to hold the front inner "mudguard" to the shell - but all different

Pics of the buggy and the pods will soon bring someone with the same setup along

The Jas ones are bolted up with rivnuts onto the underside of the pan box section and gripfill used along the top onto the rear of the body lip so there are no visible fixings.

Here is my beach buggy and side pods

Hey ManCityJeff, are those the sidepods that just got removed from devilbay ??, if they were , they were supposed to be for a GP so fitting them to your ( I think it's a FF Rat ) might be a problem fitting them nicely, I was watching them and even got prices from Wales to the East Coast, so if they don't fit, can I get first refusal please
Cheers
Hudge Buggy

Yes they were, I am picking them up on Saturday so will let you know how I get on

Does anyone now what kind of buggy it is all I know is its year 1971 1300cc

You have a fibre fab rat, they did side pods for them but they were bog bulbous and pretty straight down the side not close fitting like the GP lwb ones.
Look at davydoffs build thread the I pad logs me off every time I swap pages so cannot copy n paste.

Thanks for the back up Snoopy, that's what I said it was, looks like you might have a buyer for them once you pick them up then , and the courier may be cheaper from Somerset to the East Coast ( maybe)

It's only fibreglass so it can be altered if needed and having something to work with is easier than starting from scratch.
Offer them up and then post some pics.
Ollie has a Rat with 'real' pods and they really are an acquired taste.
