Manual for Optima Mid Custom?

Post by j0pp3 »

I am about to restore an Optima Mid Custom as my next project but can't seem to find a manual anywhere.

Sure, I can probably restore it anyway just by finding images of it. Still need to know some details:

- Universals or dogbones in front?
- Gear- or ball diffs?
- Turnbuckles or plain rods?
Cheers
Joel

MID CUSTOM

dogbones everywhere, bushings, gear diffs, plain turnbuckles ;)

Thanks for trying to help. I already have the manuals for five mid-models including those two. It's just the Optima Mid Custom I'm missing it for.

Thanks Paul!

It even sounds logical to me. The Optima Mid Custom seems like a heavily downgraded model when searching for it on Google Images. Though it has one good part. The body looks much better than the "space ship" - Optima Mid Custom Special :lol:
