Help Identifying my Rear End

lsdweb - 14/2/18 at 12:54 PM

Hi All

Can anybody identify the rear end of a car I've bought (not had it yet and not seen it).

It looks like a IRS setup from some kind of '7'. I'm not sure I'll be using it yet but it'll be handy to know what it is, if the geometry is ok and if I can get wishbones etc 'off the shelf'.

Description

Thanks in advance.

Looks very much like a Westfield, in which case Rally Design will do wishbones, as will Westfield themselves
Do a Google picture search for Westfield chassis

Did the seller not list it as a specific item - e.g. a Westfield?

What attracted you to buying it if you didn't know what it was?

I t looks like it has some sort of wider outrigger arrangement? It steps out about 4"s in front of the rear bulkhead

Well it's not a Westfield (even if the rear is!).

I thought you were asking about the rear?

Yes I was. And thanks for the help. I thought it might be Westfield looks similar to a Westfield I rebuilt a few years ago but that had a subaru diff and custom wishbones so not quite the same.

Nick205 - I've bought the chassis and bodywork and it has that Westfield back end - I'm not sure if I'll use it as my original thoughts are around a mid engined setup.
