Hello: I am 2 years into a build of a Champion Motor Cars XI. A month or so after I took delivery of the frame and body shell, the CMC went out of business....
Welcome, Mark. I suppose you should expect a certain amount of 'good natured' ribbing given that you're building 'almost' a W-11. Don't let it bother you. As I...
I want to put some bling under the bonnet of my 11 and was wondering if chrome plate was suitable for the A-arms and the 4-link bars. Also the 2 coolant pipes....
Chrome plating the suspension arms is not a hot idea. Generally, this hides any cracks that may occur. Nickel or cad plating is suitable for suspension parts....
I believe chrome plating also embrittles (sp?) metal. not a good thing for suspension components. Aaron Minnesota _____ From: westfield_eleven@yahoogroups.com ...
Seems to me that chrome plating is trying to make a Westfield or even a Lotus Eleven something that it it not. Several posts back someone mentioned that Westy...
If you followed Concourse in the early 60s through the late 70s, you would have seen all sorts of chromed parts on just about all of the classics. "Over...

I just shipped off my cam to APT in exchange for the SPVP3 cam, lifters and an adjustable timing gear set. Finally, I can finish the short block and get on...
Sounds like a no-expense spared build! Good to see some photo's - mine is poverty spec by comparison... :O( It is good to get rid of the points if you can. The...
Hardly a spare no expense build. No Carillo rods, unobtainium rimflow valves, carbon composite pushrods, billet crank. Lots of stuff that I left off. In...
The SPVP3 cam arrived, and my bargain multi keyway cam timing sprokets and chain. I thought that I might need the better timing gear, as the "align the dots"...
Looks like Jan isn't the only one with updates today. Have the 1275 engine currently in the car. Shouldn't be much longer at this point until we are on the...
For those of you in the U.S. or Canada in need of a front nosecone, I have a brand new WRG (that's Westfield Racing Green which is the dark green gelcoat)...
Tom, Please let me know how much you are asking and what appriximate shipping weight and ball park shipping cost would be to Boston. Thanks in advance, Esko...
The price on the nosecone is US$2,450 fully crated, plus LTL freight to your location. Boston from Dallas is about $275 or so. Price is effectively at cost...
