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

I'm not in a rush, keep on finding things that need remaking. It's annoying me a bit. Dropped the engine in today and the steering column hits the mounts. Need a solution for that now.

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. |

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. |
