Hi There,

I am looking for a front end of a Westfield, Caterham, Locost or any other car of the same ilk, can anyone help? All I need is the front wishbones and the area where they meet the chassis. I write off car would be ideal, rear ender etc, does not have to be complete as I do not need an engine.. Any help would be most appreciated, Look forward to hearing from you..

Might just be easier to buy the wishbones separatly and the chassis mountings aswell or fabricate them.

pwig's Dax was recently written off from a rear end shunt, although I doubt he'd still be able to get access to it now though as the insurance claim has gone through.

Otherwise, what about looking around on ebay?

On the grey bar above, click members -> Directory, then type in pwig and his profile should be there.

IIRC he didn't buy the car back from the insurance company, although he might know where its gone. Otherwise, go to ebay and find someones uncompleted project/a salvage yard selling off parts and get some from there.

Actually, what about going to locostbuilders.com and ask on there?

I'm sure the DAX uses a different setup on the front compared to most other seven's.
