The 'permanently marked on the chassis VIN' - pics please!

I was thinking of stamping mine into the top of CP16 or TR8 above CP16.

Right side of vehicle and not easily removeable or altered is what they are looking for,so for my money the top front rail above steering mount bush is favourite.

As in the pic above,remove a little of the ally scuttle panel and it will hide it nicely.

Can it not be added in a few places around the chassis, so if one happen to be removed then there are other originlas still in place.

I never did post what i'd done - there's a pic on here - basically it is an engraved plate welded onto the 3mm bulkhead above the pedal box:

I also put a similar plate in the floor of the car - but have no pic of that. It is attached between the rearmost chassis rail and the 3mm strips which i'm mounting my seat runners to...

Depends on the tester,if he wants to be a pain it could be knocked back as being easily removeable,it should be stamped into the main chassis rails and therefore not easily removed.

An easy retort: I *made* this whole chassis, any tube in it is as easily replaceable to me as this plate.

Two of three years ago someone on here got the number milled or punched in 3 mm plate, then cut out a part of a tube ant neatly welded the plate in, so it's not obvious the plate is not the tube wall.

During my Polish registration, the inspector just punched the VIN on top of TR5, the diagonal engine bay tube. He tapped each die lightly, so it's an iffy compromise with the tube bent a bit and the VIN barely legible.
