I live locally can help out on either Sat or Sun. More than happy to help wiith teardown on Sunday if others are trying to get on the road. I've only had my car for a year and looking forward to seeing what others have done to their cars.

Yep, when it comes to the mid size and bigger four pot calipers, it’s just impossible to talk in generalities when it comes to 13” wheels fitting or not. You have to be specific about which caliper/disc type you have - sometimes with the radial mount types, even the specific kit used. At the same time you also have to be specific about the precise alloy wheel make, model and size. As has been said, many 13” options, I suspect probably more the budget to mid price types like many Minilite replicas, have rims that are just too thick for some of the four pot options. Where as the more premium types, like Images range, Compomotive CXR’s etc - all designed to be lighter weight, but strong, are that bit thinner with a bit more room for the calipers.

The calipers look to be Midilites, which are what RallyDesign is offering with the 285mm disc. They market that as 15" only, but I agree with @mTT97 as clearance hugely depends on the wheels used. Split rims usually have much more space than one piece wheels.

Great weekend and weather at Blyton Good to see everybody including Hedley who spent all weekend taking photos of the action

Never liked that bit of the island - perhaps her aura is all consuming.

Thanks for the feedback @westfield_bumble. I noticed the two I feeds and also that on the WPS listing one just seems go have had a small bolt screwed in to it. I understand this is don't on radiators quite often but it doesn't seem best to me!

These look now like Wilwood Powerlite calipers to me. If they are, they fit under 13” Team Dynamics 1.2 and Compomotive CXR wheels. I believe Minilites have thicker rims…..

New to the Westfield club! Just picked this up from Toybox last week. First drive was collecting her from Burton and driving back to North London on the A roads in the glorious sunshine! And a lot of driving this 1st weekend including a meet up with a friend and his GBS Loving every second so far!

Thanks for a great run out Julie. The food at the Bike and Boot was very good. I've not been there before. Nice to catch up with you all and nice to meet you Andy and Ann.

Here you go!

One pair 325lb x 8” springs, to suit 1.9” dia shocks. Reasonable used condition. £28.50 posted. Brand new windscreen with black surround for a wide body car (was bought for an SEiW). Unused and unmarked. £250 collected from West Horsley, nr Guildford, Surrey. Carbon airbox to suit ITBs. Comes with a nice K&N air filter. Fits a standard Pipercross back plate (not included). Incredibly light. Not the absolute neatest bit of carbon manufacture I’ve seen as some of the weave is a bit uneven and the lacquer has whitened slightly in places, but functionally fine. Happy to take measurements if needed, let me know know if so. £220 posted.

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Andy’s rule the world 🤪 there always there and in great numbers too , you’ll never be without an Andy 🤣 glad you all had a great day , see you soon A&B

i have these brakes on my car and 13" wheels (minispeed minilite) don't fit. Maybe it depends on wich type of 13" you're trying to fit.

It's OK @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative , I already know @SigmaA.

Well jell - I do wish I could pull my dash out instead of it it moving approx. 5” on passenger side & 2” by steering wheel 🙀

There were 3 Andy's, Dave, Ann and us meeting at Quacker's cafe for breakfast Quacker's car park We took off onto the sweeping bends of the Peak District with lovely views along the way, feeling cooler than expected. We arrived at Bike and Boot, Hathersage for the lunch stop. Bike and Boot car park Andy Westwood was wearing a nice hat that would match @aeg's car perfectly, so we thought we would taunt him with it😁 Inside Bike and Boot Glen and I had paella, what a treat from the usual cheese sandwich These two can't half eat Next we went for cake at the Pavillion, Baslow with a slight diversion when I lost all of you, waved as you all drove towards us 🤣but we got there in the end. It was a bit full because there was a 'colour run' event on, with children running on the sports field covered in coloured powder paint. We made good of a bad situation when Julie spied the home baked cakes, here they are! 'Well what happens to these, are they for sale?' I asked. The lady kindly replied 'yes, shortly, they will be £1 a slice to raise funds for the local school' Well it's rude not to join in, so the inevitable happened..... Best of it is we had already been eating cake from the cafe, Glen here laughing at all the Andy's as he was served the biggest slice by far It was a great day out, I hope we helped our new member's out with the cooling of the Sigma engine. Delighted that we were when we found out Andy and Ann were from Yorkshire, stolen right from under @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO's nose 😀. Thanks for coming everyone, see ya all next time XX

Ok thanks Steve I currently have the Westfield hispec ultralites fitted. Do you know if these would be a direct replacement or would they need an adapter.

Well done Ian, great job! 7.27 pace sounds pretty fast to me!

I have no way to confirm this sorry. The repair was done by a forum member Steve D who used to run Winsford Body Shop

Just removed from my Westfield, too much under my dash as it is so divided to sell. works perfectly and comes with scuttle connectors. £100 - collected (could take to Malvern)

Very pleased hearing this. My old Duratec is a lovely reliable Westie with many more fun miles ahead. All the best Andy

Hi Phil, can’t see why not I was planning on putting them on mine with 13”I currently have the hispec big brake kit 285mm disks and my 13”s fit fine. You just have to make sure the wheel weights are in the inside of the wheel

6 Westfields and a MX5 today. Not as sunny as last week, but dry. After feeding our faces, we had a little drive over to the Motorist, taking a longer, more scenic route apart from going through Knottingley maybe. A possible new member came up from Sheffield, hopefully he'll join up soon.

Job done, but I'll still gladly take money of you great people-

If you look towards the southwest corner of the island and see something akin to The Eye Of Sauron over a house, you’ve found her.
