Default Manufacturers plate

Just been looking through the manual and got to the section about statutory plates.

Do I have to have a plate on the car with make model etc etc, or does this not apply to a kit car?

If so where can I get a blank plate from. I have already put the vin number into the chassis, and on another plate riveted on.

Thanks

Gus

Thanks ozzy.

Looking in the manual the plate only has to have the manufacturer's name and vin number on it.

I assume the manufacturer's name would be Haynes, if you wanted to register it as a Haynes Roadster?

Cheers

Afternoon Gus.

Would the manufacturer not be you?

I haven’t forgotten about your aero screen just trying to keep the family happy might see if I am allowed out on Saturday afternoon evening if you are about.

Cheers Ginge

Hi Ginge,

That is what I was wondering. I did make it, but would they then use my name on the registration form or is that a completey different thing?

Need Ash or Mark to come along and see what they did I think.

Im around Saturday any time. Just give me a ring. You got my numbers.

Cheers

Gus

I made my own plate which was a piece of 3mm ali and letter punched "haynes roadster" built by M.Gates thats me by the way and also the date of manufacture, i used the completion date of my build: April 2010

You can buy a proper plate for the job which i think ash did (think i saw it on one of his photos) probably get one off ebay

Obviously had the chassis no. punched on a plate attached to the bulkhead and also stamped into a piece of 5mm plate and welded to the chassis bracing in the engine bay

Im guessing by these questions that you arent far away now?

Hoping to have it complete by the end of June. All the fiddly bits taking the time. Still got to fit rear arches to be able to do the lights. Decide where I'm going to put the side repeaters. Rear tub top, mirrors, seat belts, dash.

The list goes on. The more I think about the more I remember I have to do. Seem to cross one thing off and add two more!

Cheers

Gus

I made my plate from 3mm strip of alloy, I checked with Vosa technical who said if I was the manufacturer just put me, so I put DMC (dennis` motor cars!!), then the vin & polished it up before rivetting it to the bulkhead.

When you fit the arches remember when the suspension goes up & down the tyres get nearer to the back light wiring and may rub, can you guess how I know this!!!

The side repeaters I put in the front edge of the rear arches, small LED ones from Boltonbits or Kitparts.

The rear cover I ran out of time with so bought a leatherette one made by a chap on Ebay called Mils123fishing or similar, send him your measurements and he makes it to suit, although he isn`t very quick but they look ok for £40.
Oh and keep making lists cos one day you will get to the bottom of it before you know it.
