OK so I have located a woody, thank Kult Friction, I would not have picked that.
SOURCED:
Intense M1 SL with horizontal drop outs
Manitou X Vert Ti
Race Face Cranks
NOS MRP Chain Device to suit Race Face Cranks
Woody Rear Mech
Kore Stem
SEEKING:
Gustav Brakes and Hubs
Tioga Seat
D521 Ceramic Rims
BOS Shock
X-Ray Gripshift
Hopey Steering Damper
*The rear shock appears to be a BOS which is too long. I assume they have an internal spacer to limit travel to 50mm at the shock shaft but you can see the way it is mounted that this is a longer body overall than stock
*Hopey steering damper
*Kore stem, seatpost, probably handlebars

Re:
A Woody mech will not work with Xray shifters. You need ESP 9.0 Gripshifters for that. Like these,

Re: Re:
Thanks Boxxer - this is exactly the sort of info I was hoping to get out of this thread!
I had a good look around. The long reservoir and red anodised clevis had me thinking it might have been a BOS. I found this item on ebay which looked similar;
The shock on Tomac's bike looks longer than the stock Fox I have.
I will keep digging around and see what comes up, but if Tomac was riding a Manitou prototype I might be shit out of luck!
This bike is proving to be a bit elusive, there is not much info around.
