After over a year and a half of sitting dormant, the Westfield XI made some very racy noises in the garage. The 1380 lit off on the second press of the start...
Ross Robbins As a long time lurker, I now have something to post. I took the 11 to Lotus Owners Gathering 27 from my home in Littleton over Independence pass...
Well, it is lovely to hear from someone that is actually driving their XI. I hope that you did that 115 mile jaunt in about an hour. Good to hear that you...
I'm back from the Portland Oregon ABFM this weekend. The Lotus turnout was down a bit, but there was a good representation of models. I shared a spot with list...
I get this strange feeling when I get to the end of a project. Test time. Everything is done, and it should run. Oil? Check. Coolant? Check. Brakes working?...
Actually, I can have fixed by Morris Mintz here in California, which is better than Smiths (Nissonger Corp here in the 'States), is in the neighborhood, and he...
Hello, I wonder if any one has any experience in the above set up. If so will you please be so kind to send me some info or your email so I can ask you more...
It fits. One guy has done it, but you will have to put a big old buldge in the bonnet to clear the alfa engine. Jorger has the article and he can send a copy...
John, They may be just copies of of the real thing or copies of a redrawn drawing. It all depends what you want it for. If you want a blueprint made from an...
Seen it. It most certainly does fit, but there is that bulge. Evidently, most don't really care about the bulge. Around here, in the US, hood bulges are a...
The Alfa gearbox is compact. Fitting it should not be a problem. OF course, this is not one of the gearboxes that the car was designed around, so there may be...
The Cannon manifold is a little pricey, and you will probably have to cut a hole in the bonnet to clear the carb, as the manifold has an upward curve to it....
I have a copy of the original Sports Car Grapic magazine with the article about the Westfield Alfa. Contact me offline and I will snail mail a copy to original...
The Cannon SHOULD fit. I have one on my car (pictures in the member files under Minnesota Westfield). I can't speak to the power issue, but the car is much...
Well, in the upper left part of your screen is that green XI (I have met the car personally), and if you look carefully, there is a hole in the hood, with...
Did any of you look further down page, or call the guy??? As I recall there was more stuff than the downdraft/cannon listed first... Just wanted to spread word...
Look period and vintage? One of the hot setups for an early 7 was the Climax with a pair of Webers (This would be the original, wire wheel equipped "Super 7"),...
... Thanks for the reminder. I DO run this forum, and the direction this thread is going will put somebody in a ditch. How 'bout a little more 'Brotherhood of...
Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure to work on three different Westfield XIs. One of them is a new model, on which I have done a chassis and...
Hi, Does anyone have any experience fitting a 1500 handbrake to a new Westfield XI ? As supplied it fouls the chassis on the LHS due to the shorter distancew...
They all need modification to fit. You can drill the brake levers at the drums with a new pivot hole for the brake rods to move things closer to the axle. This...
