Factory deal arrived....

Nut and bolt restoration just completed and ready for the summer just in time but unfortunately it’s time for me to sell and move on to the next. Any enquires please call, I would be glad to help and to see it sold to a fellow Westfield enthusiast.

How comes your Birthday doesn't show on the homepage?!?! Are you still lying about your age🙈 heard you're 65 today so you should feel good about yourself, you don't look a day over 64.😛

I have Aerorace chassis with dry sump Honda S2000 engine, Jenvey ITBs. DTA S80 Pro Ecu, Quaife Sequential gearbox ect. Off to Spa in 2 weeks so I'll let you know how it goes on a GP track

Hi Gary, I've built many racecars over the years so I will post photographs of my own car build with all the modified components. I want to retain the period 1950's look mechanically too.

Unfortunately I can't make it this time but will try to make it along to the next meeting.

I think most, if not all, of us who have built a Westfield XI in recent years have opted for the Ford type 9 'box. Maybe the factory have as a result positioned the plate under where the type 9 rear mounting falls? It certainly lined up for me, but as I say, that was with the type 9 'box. Personally, I found the gearing very low, even with the overdrive 5th. which the type 9 gave me and that was with the higher of the 2 generally available crown wheel and pinion sets.

Welcome, sorry I can’t help with the gearbox mount but there is an 11 build thread in the build diaries that may help. why not start a build thread for both cars and we like pictures which also helps explain things Any way good luck with both rebuild and build

+1 for Keis. Their sizing comes up big - you'll see that on the Sportsbikeshop reviews.

....he’s not mentioned it!! @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO

Nope - not sure what you mean 🤣

I have an Aerorace, but with 210Hp Zetec (head porting, Jenvey ITB, Catcams camshaft, KMS Ecu management, 4-1 exhaust, raceline oil sump) for now set at 7200 max rpm . Previous owner claimed 235hp on the second engine but it was with more bore cylinders and special burton power larger pistons, rods , more extreme camshafts. This engine is waiting to rebuild, so I can not confirm this power. But - 0-100 time in my case is closer to 6sec. Looking at graph from racechrono it is obvious that main problem is time consuming gear change. It might be the case of my gearbox - MT75. In original Aerorace it is Type 9 gearbox as I saw on manual for this model. As for the brakes - no need for haevier vented discs. I ve made so far approx only 300km of track use. But no issues with overheated brakes. Mainly because of lightweight, propably also because of much braking force on the rear so not only front brakes ale working hard. yes, a lot of fun https://youtu.be/a8yQCk3Bg9U?t=52

Sorry to hear that Adam, don't forget, you've many friends, with many friendly sets of ears on here, whether you need to "off-load" publically or privately! We look out for one another, it's what we do. D

Lovely view Chris, and a well earned break!

Enjoying a fantastic break in the heart of champagne country. The wife has done a blinding job surprising me with this place! view from our balcony...

Another vote for the Keis heated vest (slightly older version) really good when I can get to use it if the passenger seat isn't occupied by you know who

Someone can't count

Keis v50 is the one I have, superb bit of kit. Uses plug in Adapter (cigarette lighter socket), other power connectors available. Got mine from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk

Happy birthday from Glen and Julie xxx

I’m going to be panic building but April may be a good meet for me. Fingers crossed

Hi Adge, I'm in Honiton so will be open to join you for future meets, but I can't join this week. Cheers, Nick
