Vin Plate for IVA
This evening I made my VIN plate after recieving my number from the DVLA.
I intend to weld this to the chassis. Section 18 Statutory Plates: Quote:

Yeah that was on LB last week (maybe one before)
I don't really see the difference between a bit of 3mm plate welded to the chassis or actually stamping the chassis (apart from covering up an existing vin) Both can be damaged with an angle grinder. |
stamp
Steve i think you would struggle to stamp direct onto the box section as it would just dent. At least with a 3mm plate you can support it with a lump of thick metal and give it a good thump, i doubt if stamping direct onto the box section would come out legible.
just my 2pc Bob |
Heres one I made eariler (well last night).
I used the back of my vice as its solid and a sharp centre punch. Hope its ok. The letters are 10mm high as it says larger than 7mm. Quote:

They look really good, cheers Adrian.

how early can you apply for the VIN number and is this the bit that cost's?
|
No it's free, don't know how early you can apply but I don't think there is a time limit on the number.
Just use ash's letter in the amendments thread and change it to suit yourself and your local dvla office. |
Thank you for that
|
VIN number's free, just ask...
Deanno,
I got one quite un-expectedly one-day, see story here: http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=5188 Although it possibly depends on the DLVA office and staff, so YMMV. |
in the letter it says
"The car I am building is a Haynes Roadster. It is a Lotus 7 Replica Kit car based on a single Ford Sierra donor car. All the running gear such as engine, gearbox, braking system, differential, steering etc is taken from the Sierra. If necessary I can provide the registration/identification details of the Ford Sierra that I have used for parts to build the kit car." all i am wondering as i'm using some parts from a sierra (different cars) and engine from my escort etc would i replace the above paragraph with what i'm using or delete it all together? Any help is usefull help Dean |
Recieved the vin plate today (maybe yesterday). It looks great. Many thanks Adrian.

Hi Adrian Just to say, what a fantastic job you are doing with those VIN plates :) Very professionally done indeed :cool: Well done mate :) |
Hi Adrian,
Nice to meet you today and thanks so much for dropping of my VIN member, it looks great as does your car. Thank you so much for taking me for a spin and letting me crawl all over your car looking at stuff. Seats are a great idea and will probably be the ones I use as they look like they will do well with the mx5 tunnel mod. It's a great job your doing so start charging people so you can continue to offer the service. I'll be needing one of the plates too!:D Speak soon Chris |
Cheers Adrain
