This is the original steering wheel and cowel (plus spare) from my 1993 SEiGHT. 30cm across. Can be collected from me in Dorset, or £10 for UK mainland delivery. Open to offers.

Wow - that was quick! You can have them. I’ll PM you my phone number so we make arrangements.

I have a full set of 5 original 15 inch wheels from my 1993 SEiGHT for sale. All in good condition, only used for 2k miles but would now benefit from a refurb if perfection required. 4 have virtually unused Avon tyres on them, dating from 2013. The spare wears a more used Avon tyre. Can be collected from me in Dorset, or I can arrange delivery on a pallet (at a price to be calculated/agreed, but I’d guess at around £75 UK mainland). Offers invited.

Hi Ewan, I would like to buy these please.

Pair of Westfield wind deflectors for sale. Little used and in good condition. £75 collected from me in Dorset, or £85 including UK delivery.

I have the full assembly available that I would be willing to sell, if you're interested

Made the right rear wheel arch a year ago, finally gotten around to making the left rear. Now a full sand down, and clear coat before fitting to the tub

We are currently awaiting a copy of Complete Car Builder Magazine, featuring the article on Westfield and the 40th anniversary year of our club. As soon as the magazine is available on their website, we will share the link to the members. Those who wish to do so will then be able to purchase their own copy directly. Looking forward to reading about your XI @Morris

Apologies for the blatant self promotion, but my XI has featured in Issue 8 of 'Complete Car Builder' magazine (as has this club ).

You have pm @Phil B Andy

Fantastic

Thanks but should have said I was looking for chrome finish.

don't throw it away - it could at least be modelled and 3D printed if you can't get a metal replacement

Not sure if it’s been realised, but by editing the first post, re the event cancellation, rather than adding a new one, this thread doesn’t show up as changed for those that browse the forum using the recent changes function, and is really easily missed.

It helps a lot if you search a particular forum rather than the whole site. For example, if you go into Tech Talk first, then enter "tyres" in the search box, you get 278 pages of hits. So then you need to make your search more specific by putting more key words like a size or manufacturer. It's part of the reason the club specifies that technical questions are to be kept in Tech Talk, in order to aid faster searches.

Oh, now that's interesting as I haven't yet seen any reference to the next magazine issue . Lucky I managed to get the XI started when Piers came down to visit, the sun was shining and we found some nice scenery for some photos. Can't wait to see the article .

This is the typical fodder for the workshop .. TVR Cerbera with faulty MBE 941 ecu - now changed to Emerald K6plus . I never get tired of working on Cerberas ... The track day westy is next on the ramp for a bit of a fettle prior to sending it off for some intake fabrication work on the turbo install.

...and I see @Morris that fame has arrived with you and your car featured in this month's Complete Car Builder. And there is also the WSCC 40th anniversary article. A veritable feast for me to get stuck into!

No, I'll take a look, thank you but that won't be relevant for my setup. In my case, Megajolt immediately cuts the ignition once the key is turned, so the dieseling is caused by a small quantity of fuel flowing from the Weber carb due to the higher idle, the hot combustion chambers and air from the leak.

@Morris have you seen this thread about using a diode to stop engine run-on after switching off ignition?

There were a couple of factors, one being the fuel had 'gone off'. Even though I use 5% ethanol fuel, its life is no more than two months, so it had degraded over the winter months. Also the plugs I was using weren't ideally matched to the Megajolt ignition (it needs a resistive type). The engine sounds more punchy (and louder) at higher revs and it starts well, but I suspect there is still a vacuum leak that has destabilised and raised the idle speed, resulting in some dieseling of the engine once I switch off the ignition. General driving is great, but I still need to address the vac leak. I suspect its air finding its way along the threads of the vacuum ports I screwed into the inlet manifold. The garage also fixed a rear axle oil leak that was causing me grief. There was a little damage to the sealing surface with the lip seal that they've repaired. They also had a good look over the car, tightened a few worm clips, replaced a section of fuel house and tightened the fan belt.
