Westfield cockpit space - advice needed

[anonymous-user]

I've just been to look at a 1993 Westfield, and the only thing stopping me buying it is the cockpit space - it's so tight that I can just barely fit between the tuInnel and the carpet panels. I had a Tiger Super 6 before but I think that had a slightly offset tunnel giving a bit more space on the drivers side.

I assume behind the carpet panels is an open space between the chassis rails, but with triangulation, and under the tunnel carpet is ali panels over the metal chassis rails - does anyone know whether it's possible to reshape the tunnel sides or whether the chassis behind the outer carpet panels would give any extra hip room without having one of the triangulation bars sticking into your side?

I think I'd need to find about an inch or so of extra space to actually get comfortable.

thanks

It's a narrow body:

I'm in Norfolk at the moment and was taking the opportunity to look at cars while here - I actually live in Fife.

Change of plans - found a lovely Fury locally which has a lot more interior room and happens to be the kit car that I've always wanted ever since I built my Tiger Super Six, so have agreed a sale on that and hopefully collecting it soon
