Not sure if all that effort and gymanstics is worth it . Hope so ! (2.98 longer 1st gear, new synchros bearings seals etc in gearbox, new UJs in proposhaft, and 4.3 vs 8 kg flywheel), new steering rack etc. But if started must end ..

Must be there are different styles of getting in and out Have both and easier with no cage for me and esp mine spine Sorry to hear of Your SS tear, I know its painfull and restricting. But frequently this has many coincidental causes (previous trauma/s, tendeon degeneration, inflamation, individual anatomical conditions etc) then when comes even not so strong stress - it can tear. As for safety and cage - just thought now - in normal car with cage is unwise to drive without helmet and special FIA energy absorbing foam on bars. I drive mine caged Westfield only on tracks so foams and helmet on. But If I want to put it on roads maybe someday not sure if will leve cage for that reason. Heard of accidents in normal cars with cages added effecting with head trauma - hitting on cage bar with head, in case of even not major accident. And driving Westfield in helmet for touring takes I think large part of the fun and experience of open car.

Looks to be in mint condition! Geddit? Polo - in “mint” condition?

This is raising a good point for the taller ones amongst us. My head is above the seat headrest and also above the decorative roll bar. So I'm not in a good place to crash. Once I've fitted the MSA bar that I'm currently stepping over in the garage, I'll have a nice cross bar to smack my skull into.... Some decent padding sounds like a good move.

Now all collected.

With a cage, for me, proper harnesses are a must. So in the event of an accident, hopefully the harnesses will keep you pinned in the seat and away from the cage.

@Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Thanks for yesterday Rob, enjoyed meeting you and the other guys. Still not sure, will ring Andrew at Toybox and pay them a visit.

I do these

I really struggled to get half doors when I looked too... Not tired the SBFS ones, but they were on my list (managed to find a pair of CF ones in the end - but they are like hens teeth) Thanks, Mat

Hi, I made my own from 5mm polycarbonte which I sourced from work. The lift off hinges I got from Amazon for £12 and just used the male half to slot into the windscreen. I didn't use the template but made my own with cardboard and some wire inserted inside it. This allowed me to set the angles I wanted. I used the standard Westfield shape as a reference and worked from that. Then replicated the shape with a right angle bender. They definitely make a difference to buffeting.

Only half answering your question but I bought some wind deflectors, didn't like the hinges, so bought some genuine ones from the westfield shop. D

Look - I agree but with mine body "flexibility" constantly decrasing over 50 I adore non caged Westfield for road As for safety (or feeling of safety) I see Westfield lack of -proper- side bars , something that they have in NL Westfield Cup cars. Or in MNR or MK Sportscars . That in Westfields Cage are sth for sure, better than nothig, but i think too narrow.

Kebaaaaaaaab ruuuuuun! 😁 🍟🍔🍟🍔🍟🍔🍟🍔 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

One of me and Rob today, my first time out since October due to an operation. bl**** cold and very slippery 😂 but nice to back in the weapon.

Also our first run out of the year, in the Hope Valley, Peak District

From pictures I can see ther is third option like flying toilet paper over head for some (?) kind of protection (beside storm cap and tonnea)
