Popular Post SXRORY Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2020 My Westy is a pretty paired back affair so today I set about making it more of a touring spec. So heres where it started 5 minutes later I completed the conversion! I honestly think this is a game changer for me! no more sore elbow! 👍 Cad drawings, blueprints and 3d renders can be posted in tech section if any one wants to make one. If lockdown lasts too much longer I fear it will look like I covered it in glue and ram raided Halfords! Just want to drive it. Stay safe👍 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenko Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 love it...pretty extreme make over.....You may want to upgrade the brakes to deal with the extra weight:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXRORY Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 @Jenko this pad needs testing ! How much does Millbrook cost to hire? In my relentless pursuit of comfort I had not considered this 🙄. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I have to say when I saw the title next to your name @SXRORY I did give a little cry of Noooo! Phew! However as your AO I do want a full article on this conversion for the next Westfield World! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXRORY Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 So this conversion had its first proper test today, and I don't know quite how I have managed it, but when driving its not big enough, my elbow does not sit there..... like at all. When in the design phase I did get in the car and pretended to drive (even making brum brum noises....you've all done it 😉). I ask myself how I can mess up sticking a foam pad but i have. 🙄 (i do have more foam though👍) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
