Growling Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Hello all 👍 I’ve just jumped into Westfield ownership with with an R1 engined Megablade. great fun until a water hard pipe rusted through. Doh! I’d like to send the previous owner who built the car a message to ask about the part I require, but I can’t seem to send him a private message on here? Or anyone for that matter. could someone let me know how to do it? Here’s the Westfield!: Edited June 2, 2021 by Growling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 2007 R1 (4C8) engine. I have just found this coolant pipe is corroded and I need a replacement. However, on removal it looks as if mine might be a custom part.. 🤷🏼♂️. I presume to suit the car application. As you can see my pipe bends the opposite way to the correct part, and the little pipe is bent on mine. Is this an off the shelf conversion pipe for BEC applications does anyone know? Any info greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 A quick look finds this , is it the same ? Might narrow the search on what to ask for at a dealers/ bike breakers https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192257707843 failing that it may be easier and quicker to cut off the corroded part and get a new piece welded on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. That does look the same. Interesting as that’s a 2003 part and my engine is a 2007. might be a little harder to track down as it looks like they’ve discontinued it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
