Understand, individual choice. Also had once hot coolant in footwell due to engine failure and immediate pressure buildup in cooling system. it was not so much fluid as it was via cap, and luckily was wearing thick suit and high shoes. That is why I proposed new header tanks rather than old ones from used cars of unknown history. (in my case more dangerous was that my foot slipped from wet clutch pedal under brake pedal and I could not brake for a moment, and there was 180deg turn in front 😕

@Tim-s you need to include a means of potential buyers outside WSCC contacting you. The For Sale section is a public part of the forum and anyone who isn’t a member can’t send you a DM. Suggest a mobile or email address. GLWS 👍

What have we done?
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman replied to Tim Sideways's topic in The Start Line
It's just behind the scenes notation for different generations of Westfield. The very first body design was what became the Pre Lit, this was a copy to a greater extent of the Caterham Seven. After a legal case saw Westfield being forced to make the body style unique to Westfield, they released what we now know of as Kit Bodywork. It wouldn't really be known as this at the time though, it was just the body style offered. Around 2000, give or take a year or two, (like much around Westfields, exact timelines are tricky, as there can be overlaps) the bodywork received a subtle re-style this is what we know as the ZK bodywork. In everyday use, it was still just the bodywork, for the first few years, but the ZK suffix was important to be aware of, as the nose, bonnet and scuttle were different to the previous Kit bodywork and couldn't be mixed from an aesthetic point of view. In the early mid 2000's the FW body shape was launched, as this was to be sold along side the "traditional standard" body shape, to avoid confusion, it became much more common to refer to the two as FW and ZK styles. There have been some sub variations to the body over the years, and chassis developments have not run neatly alongside body developments, each has been at their own pace. Plus parts are often retrofittable. So it would have been much harder for the factory to simply name them Westfield mk 1, mk 2, mk 3 and so on. -

Trying to win my approval by including a photo of The Wench in the gallery of Westfields on the home page won’t influence me. On a completely unrelated note, I approve. Excellent job, well overdue but kudos to the person or persons who put it together, well done 👍 -

The forum has traditionally been it's own thing, and the web site primarily used for "finding" and joining the club, and gaining access to the forum. That's one of the reasons it got somewhat forgotten about and neglected in the first place. Historically, it's been more for potential members than existing members!
