The big problem that you will run into is that the chassis demands very soft springs. If you overload the car, it wont matter where you position the dampers to...
I wish I could travel as light as you, but I weigh 200 and my wife goes about 150. That puts us at 350#'s buck nekkid and without any fuel. Add in a change of...
I have run that much weight in the car (I have taken a couple of big friends for rides). What you will need is the stock rear spring, with a lot of preload. ...
Hi, I have a 1971 MG Midget. The car is located in Columbia MO, 65201. That's about half way between St. Louis and Kansas City, on HWY 70. 1275 Engine and...
This looks like a good deal, especially with the title, which could be used for the Westy. Wire wheel axles and hubs... Perfect candidate if there is no...
In order to move on to other projects, I've decided to part with my Westfield Eleven. Engine is 1275 spridget, 60 over, line bored, "hot" street cam, ceramic...
I have not ridden in this car but I have seen this car. The owner was kind enough to let me see it and it is every bit as immaculate and stunning as the...
Joe,How much are you asking for your Westfield XI ? Regards, Carl Fritz TC 6756 VA 2009 Saloon Gainesville, Florida To: westfield_eleven@yahoogroups.com From:...
Carl, I've been told that well built series 2 cars sell in the $25 - $30,000 range. I'm open to reasonable offers. The car has less than 200 miles on it, has...
Since the pictures attached to my message of May 9, "Westfield eleven for sale", couldn't be viewed, I've uploaded them to my photo album "Joe Hill 2008 XI"....
Gentlemen, good evening. The Westfield is coming right along now. In fact, I am close to finishing the engine and therein is the problem. I can't find an...
Mini Mania has both the Cooper S damper and pulley, as well as the high performance Fisher friction ring damper with pulleys poly belt. Either should do the...
I have had a couple of the racing heads. They work fine. It's important to note the combustion chamber volume when you select pistons so you get the correct...
Always excellent port work. I have a race head on my current engine, and I had one on my previous 1275 in my Lotus 7. These are the standard when it comes to a...

I thank everyone for their kind input. Found a damper at Seven Enterprises and got the head (ported, polished, big valve) from APT. They matched it with the...
Has anyone replaced the rubber bushings provided in the kit with urethane bushings? I'm wondering if this would be a positive thing or might it make things a...
Ah, it's a race car. Doubtful that Urethane would make the car harsher than it already is, save for some Delrin bushings. The stock bushings are good for...
Hi, I already have everything to run rod ends at the rear, with the intention of freeing the back end up a bit in roll. Energy Suspensions are right here in...
I have run the same car on urethane, rubber and delrin. In the case of this particular test car, a Mustang with all of the compliance bushings removed from...
All right then! I asked for advice, and now I have it. I won't be wasteing any time with urethane bushings. Standard Westfield parts it is! Thank you. Ian...
Be careful with setting up the rear end with the rod ends. You will have to play with the pinion angle in order to minimize the binding of the equal length 4...
Hi, The Rod Ends I plan to use have 10 Deg of Misalignment; do you feel tht will be sufficient? Do you run any kind of seal to keep the dirt etc out of the...
Since the arms move only in one plane, up and down, and the arms are parallel and perpendicular to the axle and chassis, 10º is more than enough to handle the...
Part of my work is to keep up on Cable programming, and I happened to see an interesting automotive wiring solution on Speed's "Two Guys Garage". It's produced...
That will change in the near future as street pricing kicks in. How much did you say your 1388 cost, anyway? It's all relative, and in the end, not that...
I built a Lotus 7 clone and wired it myself with a Lotus wiring diagram, not much wiring there. Everything worked first time and no problems yet in 8000 miles....
