Red Flash Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi guys Would anyone have any Cortina cycle brackets, cycle wings & Light brackets for a 1996 Westfield SE narrow body.. Our new Westie is in need of a facelift! Any feedback would be much appreciated, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction Thanks, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff101 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 What colour and which tyre size? There are two widths of wing - one for 185 tyres and a larger one for up to around 205. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Tiger Racing, the people who make the Tiger kitcars used to make very nice cycle wing brackets that, unlike the Westfield version, didn't require you to chop down the balljoint to allow it to fit as the Tiger ones make use of the three dust cover bolt holes... not sure if they still make them now but worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory's Dad Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have a pair of used crimson cycle wings going begging. They have some small holes already drilled. £25 + postage please. Rory's Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Pretender Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have a set of black ones going too. They're too narrow for my 195 tyres so I'm guessing they're 185 going by Geoffs comment above. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff101 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I've got three wide ones in chrome yellow spare. Not the best cosmetically but sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Pretender Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi Will, I think they are more or less perfect condition, no holes or anything. Give me half an hour or so and I'll PM you some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Flash Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 How did you get on fitting yours Pete?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well it was 10 years ago that I had mine but IIRC they were easy to fit... 6 bolts using the dust cover holes in the uprights plus a few washers just to get them sitting square over the tyre and then drill and bolt the cycle wings to the brackets - some people use stuff like Sikaflex to glue them on instead but they can come adrift if not done properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Flash Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Was that from personal experience Pete We don't what that happening, like you say bolts are probably the way to go I'm surprised how expensive the brackets are..especially from the Westfield site..maybe i'm just a cheap A*** I'm considering those 'Cortina stays' you've mentioned Pete unless someone else on the forum has any lying around..Just discovered I'll need a pair of light brackets also as I don't want to hack the originals incase i come to resell/ replace with the original flared arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
