Please note, all e-mails asking me for plans/copies or diamensions will be deleted un-answered. You need to click below for your plans.This is because:
1. They are copyrighted worldwide
2. I aint copying 60 pages of CAD drawings
3. Tony (the designer at The Edge buggies) deserves to be paid for his excelent designs
4. If you don`t want to pay out for your own plans, then it`s unlikley you`l want to pay out the cost for materials to build a quality buggy
5. I had to buy mine - so you buy your`s!!
so
