As you have found out, a Caterham nose is too narrow for the Locost chassis. Been there, found that out the hard way. I sold mine on, but they can be modified.

For anyone else buying second-hand nose cones, look for "Westfield" or "Locost" in the item descriptions!

I have added about 6 inches onto my rear wings and have taken some pics that I’ll put on my archive, very easy to do.
