Hi Folks - I'm considering a brake upgrade. I just bought a braided line kit, but p.22 of the latest VicBrit catalog has 6-6951 Cross drilled rotors listed....
Aaron... The rotors for wire wheel cars are different than those for steel wheel cars. The 'pedistal' part of the rotor must be shorter to fit. Try a Google...
I've got it real bad. Been talking to the owner of an Auriga 23B replica in England. He's selling his car (wants a new project) and I have a bad case of 23B ...
Does he want a Bobsy SR3 project? This could be a three way deal. ... __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 ...
I have recently collected my eleven kit, car no. 31 and I'm in the process of sourcing the bits that I want. I noticed on earlier posts that the Rivergate kit...
I installed the Rivergate kit in my W-11 -- the first such installation, according to Rivergate. It required a small (2" buy 3") clearance hole in the left...
I am a new member, and have been thinking quite a bit about buying a W-XI kit. As most of you know, Westfield does not sell new kits to the US. I have been...
Welcome to the group! The current run of kits are all right-hand-drive, and are priced at about $16K without engine, transmission, differential, paint, wheels,...
Thanks for the response, Mark. I have followed the pricing of Westfields on E-bay, and agree that it is probably ultimately cheaper to buy a complete car....
I just purchased a well used XI. Price was low enough compared to the new kits that you could strip everything off and start over for less money. There is a...
Registering a W-11 varies from state to state. In my case (Oregon), a replica vehicle is registered as whatever it looks like -- so my car is registered as a...
Aaron, Depends on which discs you have, and which adapters. You can get rotors for wire wheel cars. Just specify. However, unless you get rid of the calipers,...
Careful. There is no support anywhere in the world for the Noble Lotus 23 by Auriga. You will be spending some time with the machinist and fabricator with...
If you are in the US, it is best to buy a car that is already here, strip it and then finish it yourself. No differences worth mentioning with the new kit. You...
I will check the local regs regarding registration. I am certainly not relying on Westfield's numbers - it appears that Spridgets can be had for a song on the...
I don't knpw anything about the Ohio car. Any issues arise in your rebuild? Did you post pictures of your XI? ... the new kits that you ... car in Ohio that...
I have not done the rebuild on my car yet. Have only had it for a week. Still checking it over but haven't seen anything that looks like a big problem yet. I...
Ford Sierra 5 speeds will fit, with an adapter kit from Caterham. There are standard sedan 5 speeds, close ratio, dog boxes...Anything you want for your...
I am afraid I don't know what you mean about water pipes and holes in the bulkhead - these must be details of which a newby like myself would be unaware. I am...
Yes, the waterpipe reference is about series 1 / series 2 differences. ... Important question -- have you ever owned a British automobile? I believe that it...
I have not owned a vintage British car - I own a vintage German car and have restored vintage Italian motorcycles. I have already been looking at crate engines...
There are differences between a vintage British car and a German one. Parts are less expensive for the British car, just for a start. However, about the...
Yes, it's a done deal. I've reached an agreement with the owner of the Auriga 23B in England and events are in motion. EBay appears to be a reasonable...
Hi Mark - I just saw the ad. Wow - such a gorgeous car! If only I had the funds and the room for two. I'm spreading the word however. Good luck! Aaron _____...
Thanks, Aaron. I've had a good number of inquiries from U.S. buyers and will hold the car open for a U.S. sale for several more weeks. I'm not in a particular...
