    Has anybody seen this before? Looking for a better image or someone who has an actual vintage decal of this. Looks like it says “Champion Speed Shop Lower End Plate”
    Any help would be greatly appreciated for my project.

    I can’t make it out but where you see Lower end plate, I can make out the “lower” and the “plate”. But it looks like the “end” has 4 letters.

    My first thought was “lower end plate” refers to what was commonly known as a girdle on the mains. Champion made an early version using a steel weldment.
    Here’s a later aluminum, machined from billet main support.

    I just took another look and I don’t think that girdle is aluminum, it looks more like an iron or steel casting.
    Also, compare the two timing covers- they are both from Champion Speed Shop.

    I have the Champion girdle which its steel and my Champion cover is aluminum. Just want to add that sticker back on to the frame. Just need a better image or a nos sticker.
