Coolant hose 'fun'

Posted by M444TTB in MattB's Blog, 17 June 2013 · 55 views

17th June 2013
Some good news on the coolant hose front. Having fruitlessly searched through the offerings from all of the well known silicon hose manufacturers I'd concluded I'd need to give Westfield £15 +P&P for the hose they supply. However it turns out Dom has an unused one as he changed all his to orange SFS hoses during his build. So he kindly...

The Start

Posted by Captain-Dan in Enclosed Trailer Build Diary, 03 May 2013 · 299 views

I built my Westfiield last year and have a nice home for it in my garage. Due to work I am due to move in October and where I am moving to there is no garages - I also tend to move every 2 years and can't guarantee if I will have anywhere to store it. My solution is to build an enclosed trailer. I explored many options including purchasing a Brian William...
