What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Assembly progress

Lovely little budget pipe bender and a little test with 8mm aluminium fuel pipe. The result ist quite ok. On the left, some homework to be done on the handbrake adjuster. It must be shortened due to the new location of the handbrake.
Some assembly work done tonight, rear brake pipes (to be bend in place) and handbrake cables, the Westfield differential which is basically Ford Atlas gear inside a bespoke Westfield differential housing.
Driveshaft is a Caterham part in this particular car (part# 72290) to connect the Ford T9 gearbox with the differential.
Diff and driveshaft and brake piping.
Rear suspension with upper and lower wishbone, half shaft and shock absorber.
Quite satisfied with tonight's assembly work, at least it appears like some progress achieved. More time will be lost in details like the handbrake adjuster and pedalbox which is still not completely finished. The brake pipes will then be mounted properly and the fuel pipes bend to the chassis's profile.
Cheers.
