Shame as its a good day, there is a Mallory trackday on the same date (24th) I might now book as got the day off work https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/154717-mallory-park-240524/#comment-1617310 https://javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackdays/May/MP240524

I just choose 45mm bolts as the originals were 25mm plus the 20mm spacers so my simple logic was that I would end up with the same amount of thread in the hub. What I haven’t been able to verify is how much was in in the first place but it should be all the way through I think, looking at the depth on the wheel etc.

First outing with the her new shoes on

Hi Guys, I am a member of the WSCC and joined last August 23 shortly after purchasing my Westfield (see below photos) It was my intention to start making full use of my new purchase this spring but unfortunately a recent heart attack has unfortunately changed my plans. Hence, I have regrettably decided to sell my Westie. She is an SEiW wide bodied SDV model and was built in October 2005 from virtually all new components including engine, gearbox, steering rack, wiring loom etc etc….. The power unit is a Ford 2 litre Zetec breathing through 45 Weber DCOE’s coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. She has covered just 7800 miles since 2005 and is in excellent condition. I am looking for a quick sale and seeking £10500.00 or very near offer for a no- nonsense transaction which is considerably less than I paid for her 7 months ago. Finally, if anybody requires further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07778 974905 Cheers, Keith Hi Guys.docx Location of car : On the North Norfolk coast near Cromer,

Welcome to the Westfield family @SteveG, looks you've got a great car there. Hope to catch up with you at one of the local meetings very soon. Don't forget the Warwickshire Area meets at the Falcon, Birmingham Road, Hatton, CV35 7HA, from 7.30pm, 3rd Thursday of the month.

M6 callipers to suit vented discs. Sierra rear callipers. Flexes too.

Thank you Karl, that's much appreciated. It will definitely be looked after under my ownership too. No questions at the moment, but appreciate the offer. Hope you're enjoying your new one too?

I used 15mm spacers on the rear of mine when I bought some wheels and tyres that had an offset that much different from the originals. Longer studs were needed as only eight turns of the nuts seemed marginal. There was debate on here at the time about how many turns were required as minimum for optimum strength. There was no firm conclusion so I thought overkill would avoid any other 'kill'. If 'blind' nuts were fitted, though, bottoming-out of the nuts was a risk if not allowed for.

Hi Steve I'm pleased it went to a good home and still in the local area 💪 If I can help with anything let me know 👍

Gutted, I always enjoy this event!

Can’t wait to see the finished result😀

Have a great day @Young knocker 1992 🍺🎂

You can tell the weather is improving, five cars out to play tonight at The Halfway House pub in Cullompton. I met up with Matt in Illminster and we had a fun drive down over the Blackdown hills, much more pleasant in daylight! Eight of us in total, good to catch up and have a natter about all things Westfield and not. We even managed a quick photo shoot once the car park emptied out a bit. Heading home was a tad chilly, so a quick stop for fuel at Illminster services was welcome, the guy serving thought I was mad!

Arrww. Well I'm sure there will be 1 later in the year. The world goes mad when technology fails ay lol.

@Stuart start point is Rushup Edge car park at the top of Winnats Pass near Castleton, I've amended first post. This is detailed in the road book nearest 24 hour petrol station for folks to fill up and have a toilet break before hand is Texaco Hope valley S33 0EB and there is also a Morrisons in Chapel-en-Le-Frith SK23 0HZ

It is a shame, Nick! All because of a software glitch!

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator is this still starting in Edale? Cos it says Buxton on the road book. Did I miss something?

Muchly Ta, having a brill Birthday Week 🎂 🥳 😁😊

I've got some similar 16mm ones and they've been absolutely fine

Looking for a good pair of ZK rear arches.

@Stuart @Steve Bosworth Gents thank you very much 😎 I will contact you both via a group pm after the dry run so I can share the up to date roadbook and the other route info I have and hopefully between us we can sort something out

I think as long as you good quality spacers they are both fine. I've had no issues at all with mine on the Jag.

That makes the thing look better. With two mismatched carbs it will not run best. hopefully it will make the next boat okay

I’ve been quiet on this thread for the last few months, mainly because there had been some suggestion that the regulations would change for this year so I waited for entries to open earlier this month before investing too much in the build. That don’t stop me drawing though and gathering a few of the parts need for the build. One part I did buy over winter was a body to make the sidecar. I’d looked at various things such as pedal bins and water butts but in the end I found an eBay seller local to me who made fibreglass tote Tot-Rod bodies. The cost wasn’t much more than a pedal bin would be and it would save me a lot of fabrication work. With that sorted I moved on to finalising the sidecar drawings, I’d initially looked to mount the pivot low to minimise tyre scrub but since the course is straight and the turns are minimal I instead settled on a high pivot as it would simplify the construction. The sidecar frame itself is quite crude but I wanted to keep the design of it simple and the weight down. Finally to get the BMX looking more like a motorcycle I modelled an engine. This will also double as a mount for the sidecar and also stop the crank arms from rotating. This week I stripped the BMX down and it got a rattle can finish in Red and Black while I wait for the laser cut parts to arrive so I can fabricate the sidecar. Finally my trusty companion Gromit who will be riding alongside me.

I don’t mind having a go, I’ve done one before for a europe motorcycle trip I did. Just need the route plan drawing so I can convert to digital 👍🏻
