Source of Westfield Rear Uprights
Was looking at a Westie being built last night.
Lots of lovely bits of kit.
It was an IRS version with some very lovely looking cast ali rear uprights.
The owner said they weren't bespoke but off production car, maybe a Golf.
I know that Golf ali callipers are used but could they be Golf rear uprights as well?
Cheers,
James
EDIT: Only picture I can find so far is here:

Pretty sure they're westfields own design. I have seen a couple of sets go on ebay in the last few years. If you like them a lot, maybe get a
pair from them, but i'd hazard a guess of £300 a side? be intresting to find out

HI all the rear uprights used by westfield are of thier own bespoke desighn. I think he meant the rear alloy brake callipers were of a golf same as
rally desighn ones.I am pretty sure there are three different uprights for a westfield but stand to be corrected as there is posiibly one other.

Ok, thought he might be mistaken.
Shame really as I fancied some of them for a future car!
Cheers,
