stu.graham Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 After having a conversation with the factory,unfortunetley I will not be able to join the deal. The arb (standard) will require to be changed to a wider type plus the top camber adjuster is for a ball joint fitment and not for rose joints (without some machining) ie the new top wish bone is not threaded inside but uses a sleave through to adjust. If anyone has bought the wide track wishbones before and converted to the rose joint I would be grateful for any advise as it is a good offer Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickd Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 As of 4.20pm today there are now 8 of us on David's list. Re-reading Holly's opening post, it seems Westfield are happy to open this to existing customers and WSCC members. However now the topic has been moved to Technical Help only registered members can view the offer. QUOTE Welcome to the first bulk buy option offered by Westfield Sportscars in 2007. This offer is for existing customers, WSCC members and Speed Series competitors who are looking at upgrading their Westfield for 2007. Or have I mis-understood Holly's guidelines?

scott beeland Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Why not se;l your existing ARB to part fund a new one? I wouldn't have thought a cut and shut on a bar to add length would do a great deal to the bars qualities?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Walker Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi Everyone The guys in the stores are being asked all sorts of questions regarding the widetrack kit on offer. Just so you all know, heres some info. 1.Its 50mm wider than the standard front track 2. The wishbones are the same as fitted to the sport 2000s and are oval specification not round. 3.The upper wishbone has adjustable camber without the need to remove the ball joint from the upright. 4. The outboard end of the lower wishbone is strengthened around the ball joint mounting point, this eliminates twisting or bending around the ball joint area with the extra loads. 5. So that you can use your existing steering rack and shock absorbers, special fabricated brackets for the lower shock mount and rack extensions are supplied with the kit. 6. The kit works with the standard supplied top and bottom ball joints. 7. The standard outboard front anti roll bar is not designed to be used with the widetrack system, you can however fit the inboard anti roll bar kit as fitted to the sport 2000s. Images to follow Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
