Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I’m trying to source a supplier for the hinges that are used for the doors and wind deflectors, must be to the same spec as Westfield would have supplied, the usual car builder sites are not the same spec… thanks mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman thanks @Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary Jase put these online earlier - https://mofast.co.uk/products/wind-deflector-side-screen-hinge-fitting-kit.html I believe he is adding a kit for the newer pillars later today. One thing to note is if you buy an ADB supplied part through MoFast. Jase and his Dad get 100%. In order to support what they are doing for the Westfield community we decide at MoFast soak up the transaction costs in our own margins etc to support their success. So in summary if you buy through MoFast they get all the money / if you buy through eBay then eBay take money off the table for them. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed that for you Paul! I can't stress this enough, eBay's fees are insane for stuff like this now on a small business like ADB. These businesses do it because they have to, but wherever possible, if they have a more direct shop/sales channel, like, in this case, Mofast, do please, please use it! Just to highlight for those that don't know, Jase was one half of the superb parts team (with Patrick, who left before this all happened) that turned Westfield Parts Department completely around and earned much praise from us all. Buying our spares and parts from guys like this helps keep the knowledge and experience they posses of the brand, available to us all. It also helps support fellow enthusiasts of the marque, be it ADB or indeed Mofast. Who is way to modest to admit how much support and work he puts in that benefits us all! Much better than letting face less corporations take excessive cuts of our money!! (Rant over! ) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Just as an update, Hinges for the doors probably have to be the stainless steel option that were offered be “Westfield” and now by a couple of third party suppliers. As for the wind deflectors I’ve now tried an alternative part, kitcar Direct is one of a few suppliers of the alternative hinge, I’ve now fitted these to the car and have to say I’m impressed so far, they aren’t handed as the loose pin is removable, and the best part I got four hinges and delivery for under £15, that means going forward the wind deflectors I’m making to sell are only going to be more cost effective for the end user….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
