All Activity

That's good to know. Thanks.

Hi guys, October's meet for the northeast will be on the Tuesday the 14/10/25. this will be one our last evening runs out due to daylight, before heading back in doors for our meets. usually crack, we are going to meet at the Church Mouse Chester Le Street DH2 3RJ, meeting around 6.30pm and off on a route done by Scott, Westfield_bumble Look forward to seeing guys there.

Please add the two of us Andrew. I'll PM you with preferences soon.

Mk3 wheels won’t fit an SDV. The PCD and number of studs is different on the MK1 and MK2 MX5 which was used by Westfield as the donor.

MK 1 and 2 totally different (struts) and not used on a Westfield.

Are these still for sale? I've tried to PM you with no joy.

Many thanks, hadn’t thought of that! Will check

Ford type 9 gearbox, short input shaft. just had new lay shaft bearings, 5th gear synchro and oil seals. unsure of gear ratios I’m afraid. Magnetic drain plug installed to the housing. collection only Bristol

I might be wrong but, check that they aren't imperial threads. Ford may have gone metric later.

Spiffy, thanks very much.

Sorry for the delay. I can’t see anything in the Admin CP that would trigger auto renewals - turning off save details seems sensible, but it was still enabled in stripe (despite unchecking in the Admin CP) so I have also made that change in the actual Stripe account. Time will tell I guess! As others have said I hope you get well soon @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport

Price reduced

Thanks Ian. Fortunately the thread in the upright is fine. I swapped the bolts over and the other one went in and tightened with no problems. I’ll post up a picture when I’m home on Friday. Mine are Cortina uprights I believe, and the bolt should be an M12 32 as far as I can find. Westfield list them but not sure if it makes sense to source elsewhere.

Ouch. My cycle wings have their own bolts as do my callipers. I'm on Westfield Alloy uprights. I assume you're not. Some pics of the assembly would be good. Perhaps move to Tech. If you've goofed the thread on the bolt, what's the thread in the upright like? You may need to helicoil it to recover it properly.

Thought that I'd offer these here before they go on the bay on the off chance someone's interested in them for their MK3 MX5. Four Mazda alloys fitted with no-name snow tyres. A little scruffy but totally usable as winter wheels. Around 3-4mm of tread. They did a great job of keeping our MX5 going through the winter until it rusted out from under us. £150 collection only from central Scotland. Or make us an offer. David

Changed Winston into his winter plumage, by fitting the 15” wheels with new Uniroyal Rainsport 5 boots on, in place of the 13” R888Rs. Also refitted my half doors and popped the roof on so I’m ready for anything. It will be interesting to see how different the drive is from a ride and grip perspective. These are 195/50 vs 205/60, at least it should have a bit more grip in standing water, the 888s only have about 2mm of tread left which is fine in summer but…. I also weighed the wheels/tyres to see how they compare. Less difference than I thought. 14.65kg for the 15” with the 195s and 13.75kg for the 13” with 205s. I prefer the look of the 13” still. Annoyingly I somehow managed to b*****r the thread on one of the bolts which holds the caliper on (and the bottom of the cycle wing bracket) so will need to source another.

Looking forward to meet you all

Exactly! I keep telling people but they just won't listen 😂
