Look for a Caterham fitting model

Or Caterham themselves ;)

That looks like the kiddy to me. It might just want shortening a touch but thats a simple job and for £14 its a bargain

I am also interested in fitting the same but that Caterham link doesn't seem to work (for me anyway).

Can anyone post a link to someone else that supplies them?

I'd looked at one of those recently but there are a few things to consider:

Is the diagonal brace on the Caterham the same diameter as on a Westfield? If not, will the clamp fit?

Is the the brace on your roll bar in line with the drivers head or is it to one side? You could end up needing to angle the restraint in order to position it behind your head.

Does the brace slope at the same angle on both cars? If not, you may find the cushion/pad sitting at the wrong angle.

It would be lucky if it was a perfect fit straight off. Most likely it'll need some fettling (cutting/rewelding) to fit a Westfield. Fine if you take that into account and at at the price it's a good starting point.

Hi ,

Resurrected this old thread as I cannot find any for sale on cater ham, demon tweeks, merlin etc?

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

With the old links gone, not sure just what they linked to, but the steadies, for use, presumably with existing Caterham headrests are here. I suppose if the angles could be made to work, you could make a plate up that bolted on the end and then pad it and wrap in vinyl or what ever.

 

Otherwise, the "restraints" are here, But most look like they would need quite a bit of adaption to work with a Westfield.

 

Frankly, by the time you've adapted one of those, it might have been easier to make, (or have made) something designed for the job.
