Don't buy tool, make one. Don't know where in Essex you could get the nuts from but someone will know, even lend you some if desperate for today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfQIYLSKGwI&index=2&list=LLVNV5MyfWB3jdONIK7j3jBw

You will like it here. Its a great place to be. You are in the right place. Peak District. Wait till Julie gets hold of you.

It does appear to depend on which scrut sees you. I prefer smoked when sunny as I too struggle with bright conditions. To help I've added extra 'tape' / visor sticker to vise as far down as does not effect visibility. I struggle to follow the argument that they cannot see your eyes, as there are plenty of high profile motorsports where dark visors are used. Surely it's better to be able to see, rather than blinded, when safety flags could be missed or obstacles hit. But appologies as I have no idea as to the 'official' line under msa.

I'll be along (to the pub.... and quite possibly to watch Gerry convert his Westfield into a canoe!) Keith

My obsession for kit cars started three years ago when I arrived on site with my JCB to dig a customers footings for what I found out was to be a classic car garage. After a long days work digging and laying concrete, the customer (a top bloke called Steve) came over for chin wag and a cup of tea. Over the next hour and another cupper, I listened and admired how passionate he was about his favourite classic car which was a Morgan (which I believe he has over ten of them). He persuaded me to come back later in the year when his garage was finished because he had a treat for me. Six months past and the phone rang. It was Steve! "it's a lovely summers night, got something I think you want to have a look at, sorry drive" couldn't get me out the house fast enough! Cut a long story short, for the next three hours I drove three different classic cars. A Morgan, a 1920's car made out aluminium (sorry the name has left me) and the best till last a 1960's lotus kit car, one of the first he tells me. What a car!! That was it! I made up my mind! I wanted one! So after a long three year wait to save my penny's, I have now come to the time where I'm in a position to buy my first Westfield. Now being a very busy lad, I have come to the decision that building one from scratch would be a little to much to handle at this point in my life. So a second hand one would be better suited to my price and experience as a mechanic (which admittedly I am a novice). I know the basics and I am willing to learn.What I do know is that being tall and wide shouldered lad,an SEIW would be more suited to me. I would appreciate your experiance to advise which path I should follow and what problem areas I should be looking out for when buying my first Westfield. It would be great if I could pop over to a local Westfield event and have a chin wag to see what I'm getting my self into. Thanks so much for your time Ben from Peak District,Derbyshire

Decided to use my 205 888's that I've had for years. Not prepared to waste money on rubber unless I can guarantee 2 seasons on a set. Still bitter that I've had to sell my super soft zzr's that had 4 events on.

bump with a couple of pics I sent off for the calendar that did not make it, great trip

I just wear sunglasses if I need to and use a clear visor. Never been a problem

I'm in exactly the same position as you... couple of strips of black insulation tape across the top of my visor helps a lot. It reduces the amount of light coming in overall, and you can just dip your head a touch if there's low sun. A bit disconcerting at first as you do lose some field of vision, but you get used to it. Related info - I have raced with sunglasses on before, and I know a few who do that regularly, plus others who use very dark (think Oakley sunglasses!) visors.

Great Sunday Julie A few random pics Best silly hat? Russ says " I should have stayed in bed another 1/2 hour Well done Brooke for bringing your Dad along All welcome on Julie's meets That mini is awesome Diggsy almost as good as your Westie Pre Lit Steve's fantastic....... well pre lit Westfield Occasionally Matt isn't always ahead, but it;s so good to hear him roar away See you all soon

Hey welcome - North Warks here

Sounds like Matt has the experience needed to 'help' Gerry with his seat ;-)

What when the correct ZZR is a softer compound? Be lucky to get a year out of them anyway Alternatively we could just get WSCC Motorsport Ltd to talk to Javelin about setting up a club series with them..............I'll get my coat
