brisca33 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi, having had an off at Oulton Park on Wednesday i need to start looking out for spares and was wondering will all post lit bonnets and nose cones fit all models? My car is a 2004 SE with what i think is Kit bodywork, there is a ducted nose cone on ebay at the moment which i fancy but wondered do all model swage lines and profiles match up?, the same applies to bonnets, I will place a wanted add on the forum once i am clear on compatibility. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The short answer is no, post-lit (assuming you mean everything after the 1985-1987 Westfield 7 and 7SE) is not interchangeable without work. There are significant differences in the dimensions, shape and fit of the various incarnations: narrow lowline, narrow highline, wide "kit" and wide ZK. You really need to ascertain exactly what you have and to buy the replacements accordingly. http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/104285-spot-the-difference-%E2%80%93-bodywork/?view=getnewpost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisca33 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks for that, i should have said mine is a widebody SE, as for low line/high line is there a set of measurements from the scuttle to body seam to the top of the scuttle?

Kevin (Mr T) Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Cable ties. If cable ties are the answer, why did you go the gaffer tape route Russ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brisca33 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks for the replies, body work is on the back burner for a while as i thought i was going to get away with replacing/straightening a couple of top tubes but it looks like the whole front end is bent and pushed over so it is a body off to repair job. Does anyone have a front chassis drawing with dimensions? or a bare chassis in the Manchester/Cheshire/North west area that i could measure and take reference points from? Thanks for any help.

B.RAD Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Sorry to hear it, can't help on the chassis side but I will have some spare kit bodywork - cycle wings, bonnet and nosecone - available soon, just let me know if it's any use to you.

JulianE Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I know a couple of businesses who can repair the chassis but you will need to pm me for their details as I'm not going to get into a chassis repair discussion on the forum . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
