Westfield-Chesil New Service for Old Customer

[Dave Robinson]

I am still building my ZK kit that I bought in November 2020 - I guess it may be one of the very last cars from the old company to be completed - is that a good thing or bad I wonder?

 

As everyone who has built a Westfield from a kit knows, there will be parts missing but of course when the company no longer exists to send out the parts by return as they used to, you are cut adrift.

 

Well,  today, while struggling with GRP that is 30 months old (not sure that age is actually a major factor - it's more of a problem with consistency of manufacture) I discovered that there was no fitting kit for the hood. I thought I had been through the picking list enough times to have ensured that I had everything but of course, with the huge gaps in the documentation provided with the ZK kit you don't actually know what you need until you realise that you haven't got it!

 

So I spoke to Ewan and Jason at Westfield-Chesil to ask if they were able to help a customer of the old company to obtain the missing parts.

 

While they made it clear that they can have no formal obligation to customers of Westfield Sportscars, they were both super helpful and after a bit of investigation into what is needed to fit the standard ZK hood they have identified the missing parts - the three part press studs - and agreed to supply them - great! Hopefully I'll be collecting them at Malvern on Saturday.

 

It's good to know that there is still support available when you need it.

When we hear of narrows, even pre-lits, being unearthed part built I'm sure your kit won't be one of the last from the old company to be finished!
