A day off work today gave me a chance to complete another couple of jobs. First task was to make a bracket for the throttle cable. The new master cylinders I'm using have a taller reservoir compared to the original parts which meant they would fet in the way of the throttle cable run to the pedal. The easiest solution was to make a bolt on extension bracket for the oringal mounting that would raise the mounting slightly so it would clear the top of the master cylinder. The other job for the day was fitting the windscreen. I'd had some screen blanks made recently by the laser cutters from perspex but these needed to be formed to the correct shape. I'd been hoping to use the oven but the blanks were slightly too big to fit so I had to resort to using the paint stripper gun to soften the perspex. Once softened sufficiently it was laid over a curved former that I'd made using hardboard and then left to cool. (Sorry for the lack of pictures from this process).

And a couple of snaps from the strategic dog walk this morning. Apols for the poor quality.

Have booked onto Cadwell, Sunday. Expecting a bit of mist early on, but fingers crossed it disperses mid morning. There's still some forecasts showing sunshine, but I wont get my hopes too high. Its still showing an early booking price, (£109) so I'd guess it's nowhere near capacity. https://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/calendar/2019/feb/24-cp/

I love you too, Stephen *makes new "StephenH" page in revenge book*

Would love to, as it would have been to first trip with the car actually functioning. I'm getting married on the Sat however, and the wife-to-be has already made it clear that b*******ing off to a kit car show the day after would be 'frowned upon'!

Hi everyone Just saying hello as I have recently bought my first Westifeld, a 2l Zetec black top with Jenvey throttle bodies and an Omex ECU and it was love at first sight! I was very lucky to buy it from a community member who had built it with care and attention and who will be keeping up to date on its progress @Jon Parker Really looking forward to getting involved in the community and meeting other owners and have found it a really good resource already. Thanks all!

Hello everyone, Reading past posts etc all seem a good bunch. After years of dreaming of owning a Westfield the time has come to make the move. I have a little more time on my hands, some spare cash and most importantly a nice dry and secure garage. I am looking for a widebody model preferably, nothing too mad (my budget won't allow) just a nice tidy example something to get me on the first rung of the Westy ladder. My budget is up to 7k does anyone out there have one that needs a new home?

I have access to a rebuilt Honda CBR1000RR engine 2014 with billet super bike inlet cam and HRC valves and springs. This engine produces 198 bhp at the wheel on a bike Price around £2800- £2500

Well said Thrusty.

The route has been set so that's it, red cars rule tomorrow. Please remember the public car park that we are meeting at is on the OPPOSITE side of the road to The Wheatsheaf, it is next to the Cavendish Hotel. Hope everyone else has a productive time in the garage, except for Andrew who we wish all the best to for his son's wedding tomorrow.

We will be there, see you in the morning!

Go on Tim. Its only money .

Here’s the lowdown on non members requesting to contact members. We respect our members’ privacy and that is one reason trial members cannot send PMs. We also expect trial members to post appropriately - so, for example, asking for a member’s phone number or asking someone to pm them is not considered appropriate. Members often prefer to sell to other members and thus deliberately do not post their contact details in public. We are all aware that trial members could actually be spammers from Uzbekistan trying to fleece them and thus we put these restrictions in place to help alleviate this. Although we can’t guarantee that a paid member is squeaky clean and not from the criminal underworld, it probably does make it less likely! Equally we don’t wish to scare new members off by being too heavy handed, so if we see inappropriate posts, we hide them and let the poster know why. Blatant spammers do tend to get pounced on though. If you wish to join the club it is a small price to pay for the invaluable help and info we provide and as a bonus will allow you to contact the seller. I hope this helps.

I’ll be there, but for a conserable yet surprisingly reasonable fee, you can keep me away. Someone want to start a crowd funding page?

Might be...
