All Activity

Glad you’re back up and running @Mole, look forward to hearing all about it. Not sure I’d get away with a track day on Mother's Day!

Possibly going to do Snetterton on Sunday..shake down after some good work and parts supplied by Siltek, Spax and Ash.. and a brake system over haul.. So will be doing some set up work rather than just having fun!! Anyone else booked in?

My route will take me M62 to junction 32a, I'll be hard pressed to leave before 8am and its 1hr 22min from home What time you thinking of leaving? Also, didn't see this advertised on WSCC facebook group, might drum up more interest there?

Which way are you coming? I'm 1 mile from J44, M1 and about half an hour to the Motorist if you want to meet earlier?

Weather so far looks dry, I was going to A/B road it but now thinking motorway instead, I imagine it’ll be 9.30ish for me

Might keep dryer feet?

Maybe a bit late to be relevant but I came across these in the garage today from when I removed my harness: Maybe the sizes aren't that standard. David

Recieved this email from the Motorist today. I'm hoping to be there for 9am.

Pillars are sold screen still for sale

Andy you have PM

I see Graham quite regularly , since he's in our part of the World. He is indeed completing a Westfield to his usual very high standard , and has recently acquired a couple of Scimitars , needing a lot of work . Somewhere in the midst of all that is at least one Escort ans a car or two stored for friends . U'll happily pas on greetings from the Forum next time I see him

He’s busy rebuilding both a Scimitar and a Westfield at the moment. I'm sure the escort is still there and waiting to be finished.

Ha! That’s the reason I never took it any further. I don’t have a printer but know fellow WSCC guys with them. I could do same, maybe one day. ASA should be ok. I assume you are not intent on painting them? I probably would paint them just for smooth glossy appearance. Good job. You have more perseverance than me! Andy

Watch out for sudden and unexpected availability of calamari as a topping

Prints in the pictures are still in PLA as these were my final test prints to confirm sizing and mounting with 2mm foam around the print. Ive sent the final designs, 4 different vent designs, to get printed in ASA carbon so I'll see how they hold up. "ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a high-performance, UV-resistant, and durable 3D printer filament designed for outdoor, long-term, and high-temperature applications. Often considered a superior alternative to ABS, it resists weathering, chemicals, and fading." Vents are NOT symmetrical, they are a reverse image of each other, look at the top row of hex's in the below image. I also found that the vents on my bonnet/hood where different sizes. I found the passenger side to be 2mm wide and longer than the drivers. I ended up making a number of test prints 1mm larger than the last to get the best fit. This was one of these quick weekend projects Im now 4 weeks into.

All 24 places now filled for this event. Any last minute cancellations will be posted here.

Breakfast meeting next Sunday, 15th at The Darrington Hotel, Darrington, Pontefract, WF8 3BL from 10am. I will be taxed by then so I'll be in my Westfield. If it's not raining.

I was going to do similar a few years back but never did it in the end. 2 questions 1. what material did you choose? I’m just thinking on thermal loading 2. did you find the vent in grp is symmetrical or did you design each one independently? To me they don’t appear symmetrical on the gel coat bonnet

I sold him some heater parts at Malvern 2 years ago.

If you are after narrow body, then I have a pair for sale . .

His membership expired almost a year ago. I'd like to know as well.

Does anyone know if he got it finished?

First go at painting in preparation for colour change…. Need to tweak the air flow and gun settings as there is a bit too much orange peel and a couple of drips (too much paint and not enough air…)

nope. By the time I got home it was too late and dark. I think the first opportunity will be Wednesday due to work commitments and that has to be weather dependent. Going away to stay with my Mother on Thursday ready for Mothering Sunday so if Wednesday doesn’t work out, the car will remain filthy till mid next week!! By then the mud etc will have hardened on nicely!
