Sorry for the late reply, but I think I should point out that the axle casing is definately not the same. I had this problem when I built my car, I purchased a...
While not a total Lotus Eleven coupe/GT expert, I've seen pictures of five different styles (including this red one). The roof on this red one looks like it...

I'll admit I wasn't exactly looking forward to driving the Westfield XI, a kit car modeled after the 1957 Lotus Eleven racer. But a funny thing happened — I...
The brakes were corrected shortly after the test. The problem was axle lube leaking onto the shoes, and fact that the shoes were installed upside down. This...
Thanks for the great info! I have purchased new clinders and I am wondering if my front calipers will need to be replaced. Do these typically need to be...

Lets see if i can get it right this time. Heres a link to the build of my Eleven, its not a westie but has the front and rear sections off a westie. ...

I had the local tin basher do the work. There was no way i could get it looking that good in the amount of time he took. Wasnt too expensive either,...
Local tin basher, Bandini Metal Works in Burnaby, BC. Just outside of Vancouver. Very reasonable rates, but he's booked up about one year in advance. I made...
Has anybody got any suggestions for tires for my Westfield eleven currently shod in 165R13's? Not much room in the front fenders for anything bigger and...

Just curious, has anyone ever tried 175/70-13s? Same diameter but slightly wider but much more choice as to brands and much more generally available and...
If you want to stick to the 13s, those little Kumhos pulled .93G on the skidpad, as did my Bridgestone S04s ($20.00 each, not much different from the Kumhos). ...
Len: If you think it is hard to find 13" tires try finding 145R X 14s which is what the Series I Westfield had on them. I searched on and off online for over a...
Don, We have just had a builder of the 'Series 2' XIs put 15" wheels and tires on his car on Jan's advise. Current XI specs are for MG Midget/Sprite hubs, so...
