abbeya Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Time to start thinking about those winter upgrades, so what was the best upgrade (perhaps we should keep it Westfield related!) for you during 2012? Not an easy one for me to decide on, could it have been the extra 20bhp head porting, the corner weighting and geo set up, or a simple brass saddle on the type 9 gear linkage? £ for £ it would have to be the brass saddle, but I will opt for the corner weighing & geo set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 These are the saddles http://www.burtonpower.com/hd-brass-saddle-gearlever-to-selector-shaft-type-9-e-gbt9539.html Can't say I've ever had an issue with the plastic one myself though, replaced it when I built the car seven years ago, and even with the Quaife quick shift it's been fine since; I'm interested to hear how Andy's kept failing - I remember from another post he'd had lots of trouble with it. Cant remember just which of last seasons upgrades fell in 2012 must be old age. Of those that deffinately did: Geo set up at Blink, superb, transformed the car again after having it apart over winter to fit Playskool ARB's (they were excellent too). AP brakes, wow, surprised they made as much difference from my previous four pots as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
