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. -

Devon & Somerset meet 24th April 2024
Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset posted a topic in Local Area Meets, Events & Kit Car Shows
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! -

@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 -

Flying Carrot Steve replied to DamperMan's topic in The Start Line
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.

Yes, longer bolts. Standard are 25mm so I bought 45mm ones and they worked fine. Somehow I preferred the thought of direct connection to the hub but I’ve know idea if one method is better than the other? -

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator I'd be happy to have a go at it myself using MyRoute. I think it might only allow a finite number of waypoints though so might be necessary to divide it up -

Prior to buying my Westfield, me and my boy were planning to build a busa powered project. Now the plans have changed, the engine and diff package we've accumulated is surplus The engine was removed from a running 1999 bike, circa 23K miles If I remember correctly. We removed the engine and sold off what wasn't required. It's recently had a full service, sump baffle plate and a brand new extreme engines billet alloy sump with swinging pickup. SDB billet alloy oil breather cover. The diff is a 7" - 3.14 (hens teeth) with a quaife ATB LSD unit installed, 100mm Lobro flanges. There is a second head and cams included. Needs a repair on one broken off stud wall for No1 exhaust port. I was planning on later on sending the head to RLM to be worked on. Once we were on the road and looking for winter upgrades. The whole package includes Gen 1 hayabusa engine - billet alloy sump and baffle Bike wiring loom Bike clocks 2x ECMs Second head with cams - Missing inlet valves. 7" sierra diff 3.14 quaife ATB LSD Brand new speedo healer Brand new battery Bike Engine stand The package would suit someone with a Megabusa looking to maybe build a second engine whilst staying on the road. Or someone with a BEC rolling chassis. I am in the Morpeth area of Northumberland, collection only. £4,750
