Westfield crashpad
Hi all,
Has anyone got a Westfield scuttle crashpad that they are willing to sell? (the vinyl covered fibreglass item that fits around the edge of the
dashboard). I'm looking for one to adapt to my Luego Velocity scuttle. Condition not important as I will recover if needed. Could even need
fibreglass repair - anything considered really. Alternatively, anyone know of a cheap way to replicate one from scratch (Westfield want over £150 -
I mean come on - it's a bit of fibreglass!!). I've been thinking of bending aluminium tube and cutting it in half etc., but it's
all getting a bit complicated really.
Cheers,
Pete

Yeah - I've seen them occasionally on Ebay, but they still fetch strong money. I might have a go with some MDF and see how it turns out.
Cheers

Anyone got some good close up photos of the crash pad ? They do look nice on the westfields.
I've got westfield screen uprights & the finishing strip that the wipers go through too, if i eventually fit a screen, I always liked some
of the details on the westfields.
Do you have any pictures of your car Pete ? What stage are you at ?
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

Hi Andy,
I bought the car built about 4 years ago with a 2.0 eight valve twin cam ford engine fitted. I ran it round for a few years and then decided to
upgrade the engine to a 16 valve zetec. Problem was I got carried away and before I knew it, the car was stripped back to a rolling chassis!
I've fitted the engine and am in the process of making my own polished stainless inlet and exhaust manifolds. I've been gathering bits
and bobs as they've come up (40mm GSXR flat slides, mega jolt ignition, kent fast road cams and verniers etc.). Once the manifold is finished
and test fitted, I plan to completely strip the car and get it blasted and powder coated and start again from the ground up. I'll load some
photos of where I'm at to date. My background is actually building custom bikes, so cars are a bit new to me!
Cheers,
Pete
