VIN Number

[james3004]

Does anyone know of a company that would supply with a piece of sheet steel (say 20mm x 50mm) with my VIN stamped into it so that I can just weld it onto the chassis?

I'm finding it quite difficault to stamp the steel myself so that it doesn't look half arsed:(

I'm sure there's a post somewhere on the forums about someone on somewhere like ebay that does them and they even have haynes roadster stamped on them too.

Sorry, I meant the chassis number, not the Actual VIN plate

I intend to etch my VIN number with a sprung loaded centre punch.

Going to print out a large font template out on a piece of paper, dot matrix style & use that as a guide for punching the number.

Would assume that would be acceptable for IVA purposes as most mass produced cars have dot etched VIN numbers

Just food for thought James :)

I can do it for you as long as there is no d in it. I loaned them to a mate and he lost that one.

PM if you still need it.

Chassis number needs to be "fixed to right hand side of the vehicle",some have welded a plate with the number stamped into it others have stamped the tubing and you also need a makers plate on the bulkhead somewhere with makers name,axle weights etc.
