SIDE PODS

BUBBLE SIDE PODS

Berrien’s “Bubble” Side Pods offer a completed look and fuller body line to our Nostalgia body. Made from the same durable fiberglass as the body, these pods are easy to mount, and can completely change the look of your car.  Sorry, we can only guarantee that our pods will fit our Nostalgia body, or an original Meyers’ Manx. Available in solid or metalflake gelcoat colors.

     

FLAT SIDE PODS

Flat side pods are the economical answer to, “My fiberglass body is from an unknown manufacturer…do you have side pods to fit it?”  YES, we do! The flat pods give a more finished look, covering up the exposed fiberglass with a beautiful gelcoat color layer.  They fit tight to the inside wall of the body and frame. And, they fit almost ANY 80″ wheelbase shortened body that was designed to fit the VW pan.

     



HARD TOP

Complete that Nostalgic look with the four-passenger hardtop from Berrien. Made of durable fiberglass in your choice of standard or metalflake gelcoat colors.

OPTIONAL Oval Rear Window (C058-BB329B) and 9″ Porthole Side Windows (C058-BB329D).

Fits Nostalgia ONLY.

     

Pro Tip: It’s a good idea to install your hardtop and windshield together. Slight changes in the angle of the windshield can cause major problems later on if you decide to add a hardtop.  If you think you might want a hardtop, don’t wait! You can always store the hardtop when you feel like getting some sun!

STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT KIT

Finally, an answer to broken fiberglass dashes! This handy kit installs in minutes, and takes the weight of the steering column off of the fiberglass dash, and relocates it to the more substantial strength in the sides of the body.  Also includes windshield reinforcement plates, to shore up the windshield mounting location, and a wiper motor bracket. 5″ of width adjustment makes this kit universal for most fiberglass buggy bodies.

JIFFY TRIM

Protect the edge of that body, and yourself from the possible sharp edges!
Our jiffy trim is designed to fit snugly along the edges of the body to give that clean, finished look,
and will protect your gelcoat edges from unintended chipping.  Sold per foot.

Pro Tip: If your body is thicker than 3/16″ at any point along the edge, you’ll need to grind it down a little for the trim to fit properly. You’ll also want to round off any sharp corners because jiffy trim doesn’t bend well around tight radiuses.

 



SHOW BAR

This 2″ OD show bar looks great and makes a convenient place to mount lights or other accessories. Frame mount version bolts to the two rear body mount holes on our Nostalgia chassis or drill your own if using a stock pan. Body mount version bolts through the sides of the body, as well as the front lower part of the rear seat.

Pro Tip:

Neither show bar is intended for rollover protection.

 



SHOW CAGE

Give your buggy a true “off-road” look with the 4-point show cage kit from Berrien Buggy by Acme. Made from 1 1/2″ OD tubing, it is designed to fit inside our 4 passenger hardtop.  Available as a knockdown kit or fully welded.  Fits our Nostalgia body or an original Meyers’ Manx.  Please note the front hoop on this cage is NOT symmetric, but rather is designed to fit the offset which is present in the dash of the original Manx and our

Nostalgia.Please specify if your body was produced AFTER March 2014.  *Not intended for rollover protection.

     

 



DASH PANELS

Nostalgia, Lancer, Gensis only

FUEL TANK

The Nostagia, Genesis, and Lancer bodies use an early VW style gas tank, mounted in the nose of the body, under the hood. The filler neck is usually relocated to be centered in the hood.  (See fuel filler kit below).



FUEL FILLER RELOCATION KIT

Includes stainless steel fuel filler with cap, 2 1/2″ of mild steel tubing to weld to the top of the gas tank, marine-grade rubber hose, and hose clamps. Everything you need to relocate your fuel filler neck. Available in screw-on or flush-mount styles.

     

 



FRONT BUMPER OPTIONS



BERRIEN REAR BUMPER OPTIONS

     

Berrien offers true engine protection and ease of access at an affordable price! The “other guys'” rear bumper kits are bolt-on, using the upper shock bolts as mounting locations for the bumper, meaning that you have to disconnect your shocks when you want to install or remove the cage.  The Nostalgia Rear Cage kit welds to the body mount location on the shock tower, and incorporates a rear jump seat support, and frame horn supports right into the kit, strengthening your entire torsion.  The bumper part of the cage bolts to flanges on top, and slides onto the included rear transmission mount, making the cage fully removable with only four bolts. The underbar crossbar gives a convenient location for a license plate or backup light. Available for your choice of dual or merged exhaust, and IRS or Swingaxle, specify when ordering.  Sold as a knockdown kit or installed when we build your chassis.

3″ BODY LIFT KIT

USED WHEN MOUNTING GENESIS BODY ON STOCK VW PAN.

 



BELLY PAN GASKET
