I live in maldon I did see that which is awesome I didn’t think I’d find many local guys! Yes it’s on the road but I’m apprehensive to drive it as the guy I bought it from just clearly used it with no maintenance. So once I get all the information I need il get it sorted!

Hi Richard what area of essex are you im nr gt dunmow is your car on the road we have a westie meeting on the second Sunday of each month down at battlesbridge you couldn't wish to meet a better bunch of lads your be very welcome there and also if you need info or parts you could try mk sportscars at braintree they have a wealth of knowledge about building 7s

Use Millers 75w90 fully synthetic in my BGH type 9 gearbox.

Yep, the in-read posts button is how many of us read the forum.

'7 Spot' are a great bunch of people.

Wasn’t the old Classic historically around those sort of dates? (Just after the F1 tear down and clean up).

@Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset No dates currently Stuart. With the changes around the relocation of Car Feast to Silverstone next year it is believed that the Silverstone Classic return (or similarly named) event) will most likely be two weeks after the formula one weekend. All speculation at this time! The events team will keep us updated! @Mike Williams - Show and Events Co-ordinator HB.

Looks fab @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman, do you have any idea on the dates for next year? This is one I’ve wanted to get to for ages but it always seems to clash with our holidays!

A very hot day at the Knebworth Classic Car show. Very few kit cars, but a great selection of some rare machinery (DeTomaso, Buick with a straight 8, Ford RS200, plenty of Jag E-Types and Mustangs etc. etc.) and of course a Westfield XI 😃.

Ah thank you - I recognise that car 😃, that's an excellent photo. My son wanted to walk around the show, so I didn't get to hang around it as much as I would have liked to. When I did though there were always folk to chat with 🙂. The chap next to me with the TVR spent ages polishing it when he arrived, put my car to shame really 😃.

Had a wee run out to Glencoe and Oban today. Views are of Loch Earn, Glencoe and Glen Etive/skyfall road. The weather was stunning for a change. 270 miles covered and met a friend on the way.

@Captain Colonial Thankyou mate

The place to ask technical questions is in the Tech Talk section of the forums, so start a new thread there! There’s also a search facility in each forum or for the entire forum altogether! Here’s an example searching “4Age”.

Sounds good!

Does any one have any experience with HDPE welding. I have a damaged hdpe fuel tank of a ride on mower that has been punctured in a difficult to get to place. I haven't been able to find anyone to repair it locally.. now looking further afield but have also considered buying the kit online to do myself. Trouble is it is not easy to get to the hole to fill over it and the material is thin.. so not a good first job. So if anyone is experienced I would be open to suggestions.

Well I'm no mechanic so it's just as well that the knowledge base on here is absolutely astonishing! I don't think I've ever seen a post with questions that has not been answered and solved, usually within hours!

@Nick Algar - Competition Secretary you still got that spare one in the garage?

Yes that’s me I’m a mechanic by trade but don’t know much about these!

Twas indeed

Oh we haven't even started yet Richard, still in 1st gear aren't we lads and lasses? 🤣 Be afraid, be very afraid

I've got a feeling you may be the guy on Facebook earlier today I advised to join the WSCC, best club I've ever been in. Are you Auto-Craft?

So I’m now a fully fledged member! Can I get some pointers on navigating the forum, I really need to find out what clutch set up this has I’m on the understanding it’s a sierra friction plate and release bearing with a Toyota pressure plate? also what gearbox oil should I use (type 9) I’m looking at millers 75/80 fully synthetic its for a sierra lsd diff and I’m looking at millers 75/90 fully synthetic which states it’s ok for LSD im also a big fan of millers motorsport oils used them in previous vehicles with zero issues and noticeable improvements just want to get it back up to a good standard where I know exactly where it is! many thanks!!
