hi guys
Does anyone know if you could get a set of caterham sidescreens to fit an early narrow bodied westfield. Im having real problems sourcing the westfield ones because my car is an early narrow body, i was hoping someone could give me a clue of the dimensions of the current caterham ones that they do for the similar caterham narrow car?
Any help would be appreciated

Do you mean the clear plastic side screens that are supposed to deflect the wind? If so do not bother, they are useless.
I completely agree. I bought a set this year from a who said he'd only used them once, so I was quite chuffed.After fitting them, one short drive up the road confirmed why he'd only used them once!
FOR SALE: One set of plastic side screens for a Caterham. Immaculate. Only used twice.

Try driving along the road and simply push the deflector out into the airstream and see if that improves things. Using a pan of boiling water (left on the stove to boil) or a hot air gun to get the perspex warm enough to bend, I applied quite a significant bend to my deflectors and these worked pretty well to 70+ mph

At fairly high speed, it's almost like they cause a semi-vacuum in the cockpit making it difficult to breathe!
One plus point though, they do look nice when fitted for photos etc but that is the only time I fit them now.
