Because you are going to have to modify your chassis to fit the bike engine you can use a cradle off any manufacturer that offered a zx9 in a seven,so try Scottish kit car centre,MK etc if you want one ready made.

Can you weld?

If you can make your own custom cradle would be my advice.

Yep I can weld to a reasonable standard.

I spotted a ZX9R cradle kit on the MK website so might just buy it and mod it to fit.

Thanks

Sump baffle, just get a bit if Ali and cut to suit, have a Google for pictures, ultimately you need to punch a big hole for the filter, smaller fir the oil return and a few other near the middle.

Takes 20 minutes and costs a couple of ££

I found some plans for one online, one of customers has a punch and will do it for me

Right

I have got

Engine cradle
Prop adapter
Gear shift adapter

Now I require

Bike engine propshaft
Gear cable and shifter kit

Won't be much chance of getting a propshaft that will fit,as you are fitting a engine that was never fitted in a Westfield chassis.

You need to get a Sierra propshaft,get your engine fitted then measure up how long the prop needs to be and have the Sierra one converted by the likes of Bailey Morris.

Same with the gear cable really,get the engine mounted then work out where your cable needs to run and order it to length,the cable from MK in there gear kit is really long and I had to return it and get one the length I required.

Thanks Kev.

Was in at SKC at the weekend and they do an off the shelf prop for £280

So will probably do that once the engine is fitted.

you want a TRT prob really mate, its a tube in tube with rubber in between to soften the blows on your gearbox
