Westfield body panels
Hi guys and gals, i'm new on here but not new to the Locost, i built a book chassis a few years back and one for a friend that he sold 90%
complete. I wasn't happy with mine as i'd decided to go in a different direction and needed the garage space, it wasn't much more
than a nearly rolling frame so I scrapped it and then about 2 months later i acquired some Westfield SE V8 fiberglass panels all but the bonnet and
scuttle.
Now my question is! as i want to use the body panels that i bought just in case i did another frame, i need to know some dimensions from a westfield
SE V8, i'm not sure if it's a wide body or not though... Does any one have some chassis plans for said frame so i can adapt the locost to
suit???
Thanks for looking...

I dont think there was a factory V8 offered in narrow body so i assume yours is a wide body
Early 'kit' bodies are different to later ZK bodies and are not really able to be mixed
What dimensions are you after , ille post on the wscc if no one on here knows

outer frame measurements so i can fix the panels properly as they would be on the westy or a proper drawing with all the measurements, its a later one
i think with the hip curves on the side of the nosecone and up the sides of the bonnet, the rear tub has the later rounded lights rather than the
rectangle ones. The exhaust came out the back too iirc...
Thanks..

Enquire about getting a bonnet and scuttle to match ASAP as there are a few types of wide bodywork that look similar but are not and the
"kit" style parts are no longer made!

probably be a good idea then! just need to identify which ones they actually are, is there any part numbers on them any where? looking at the model
range it must be an Seight...
