VIN Number
 

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.

Can anyone remember who makes the builders plates on ebay.....I saw them the otherday now cant find them for love nor money!

James, AdrianH is knocking some of these up at the moment, have a look at this thread:

Did you get your VIN from the Peterborough office? How long did it take them to reply?

Yeah I got it from the peter-bog-horror office John,
TBH I can't remember how long it took them to reply but it wasn't long atall, maybe a couplre of weeks max:)
