All Activity

Hey all, I was on here for a few years with my Westfield and met a few of you, mostly in Scotland but had a prang which meant my Westfield journey stopped for a bit. Time and pennies are easier now (offspring’s Uni journey finished and new Westfield journey begins) and I am rebuilding and while I am sure progress will be slow I am enjoying pottering in the garage again. I will of course be leaning on the wealth of knowledge and goodwill on this forum and hopefully my questions are not too mundane or head slapping! Expect the first salvo of questions immanently!

Excuse me. Wrong facts. It was AEG with butter fingers - not me!!

Moxxi looks like a better catcher of the ball than his master is…

Thanks, they’re all uploaded now 😊👍

GBS are organising a drive out on the 31/8 starting from their factory in Ollerton, NG22 9ZD Details below which includes the contact info to register your attendance. The starting time is yet to be advised. I went on last years and it was a good mixture of 7 style cars and was great fun and ended up at a suitable pub for the necessary refreshments.

Well done👍 now get out there and enjoy it, just remember keep it on the black stuff😎

Here you are - more to follow! Most of the material can be dated by referring to Paul Robinson's book, except the Westfield XI price list, but it was all in the same pack, so assume it is 1985.Westfield Eleven brochure 1985.pdfWestfield Eleven price list c.1985.pdfWestfield Seven brochure 1985.pdfWestfield Seven price list 1985.pdf

Bolt centres are around 290mm The base is 400mm front and back The wings around 430mm

That are smaller than the cobra ones, ill add some pictures of the dims

All - thanks for all the help and advise through this process. I'm happy to report the car is now all 100% road legal and insured etc. So happy with this and starting to enjoy rides with friends and family.

Thanks so much for that, I will check it out. I'm a novice at all of this so any help / comments are always helpful and welcome

gloss black would be ideal !

Thanks for my new ball!! Love Moxxi. @ianali, @aeg

Thanks @SteveB21 I’ve uploaded it now. That area is an archive so is locked down to those with Administrator privileges to prevent accidents. If you add the others below or PM them to me, I’ll add them in. 👍

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any sticker on the MSA bar, but I think those are (or were?) made by Safety Devices, and Playskool on the old days (this one is a Playskool bar). As for the full cage, it is currently stored at my brother's garage, I'll ping you with the info as soon as I have it home.

calling @Captain Colonial.............. It's the same for me for the literature section.

What make is this one ? Interested to know if there are other sources or if caged is the only supplier of off the shelf ones now.

@LoneWolf - already having a cage, just attach ... rest of the car to this nice cage ! Perfect excuse to get second Westfield! (I know sth about it - once had spare gearbox and spare raceline sump, and that was my excuse to add to it rest of the car (in the end needed other gearbox btw... But the oil sump was used and is now running in my second - road-going Westfield. )

Thank you, but no thanks. I've got a spare. Brand new, in the bag, how much is that worth?

A month ago I got an MSA rollbar from @Richard Slack shipped all the way to Italy, which, after various days stuck at the customs (my mistake, didn't indicate the value properly on the shipping docs) finally got delivered a few days ago: While I was waiting for this, a very interesting sale advert came up in an italian forum, about a chap selling a brand new Westfield full cage. I wasn't sure of getting it as I don't need it right now, but given how hard (and expensive) it is to get one all the way over to Italy from the UK, I took the plunge and bought it. This also arrived a few days ago: It wasn't cheap but a good buy here in Italy. I'll use the MSA rollbar for the foreseeable, might switch to the fullcage at some point in the upcoming years, or if I start doing trackdays more consistently 😄

Hello All, August is approaching though the good weather seems to have departed. The August meet is this Sunday. 3rd. Hopefully we're not all on holiday so there will be a few of us to have a chat. See you Sunday. Thanks Rhett 7pm, 3rd August at the Dudley Arms, Himley. DY3 4LB.

I have acquired and scanned some old (1984/85!) brochures and price lists - how do I go about uploading them into the Literature section in Downloads? When I click on "Submit a File" all the section pick list options are greyed out and I can't select them - can anyone assist? Westfield colour brochure c.1984.pdf

@Andrzej’s compressor sells as an RAC branded item in the UK but without the nice little storage bag. The hose is very short and the 86cm lead can plug into a 153cm lead with cigarette plug or 108cm lead with small croc clips. With the cigarette plug lead the unit will easily reach front and back tyres using a power socket in the cabin, but it won’t reach the rear tyres using the croc clips on a front mounted battery. Having said that you would probably want to upgrade the croc clips anyway, so easy to add an extra length of wire at the same time. The unit says it is 12v 100w, but I’ve not checked the actual current draw.

I’ve got one I can sell you for a very reasonable price. Reasonable in my opinion, of course.

Currently investigating a dead AUU 1040 PIC (ignition) module out of a Morgan. Apparently this version is very rare. Hard to imagine a Maestro/Montego engine part being rare, but they didn’t make many of these specific ones it seems. I might be onto the fault….will post a follow up when the new chip arrives and I've tested it. Fingers crossed. Had to find the Arduino Uno I’d programmed up with ‘Ardustim’, a crank & cam signal generator. Remarkable what things are out there, for free. Pretty sure I’d have struggled to program that myself!!
