Vin Number Stamping

[nelmo]

I need to get the VIN number stamped into the chassis. I don't have a welder so I can't do it on a separate plate and I've read that the manual stamping kits are a bit iffy and could deform the chassis rail.

 

One person said they engraved it with a Dremel - anyone done this? Anyone know where I can get a stencil for that (assuming I can't do it freehand)?

 

Or any other methods?

I borrowed an engraver from work, did it freehand marking the required height for the characters on the chassis rail. Passed no problem. Main thing is that its legible and required heights (p.s. my engraving handwriting is appalling lol)

Hand stamps work O.K just so long as they are hit with a swift blow from a light hammer. ( Does that sound right or a bit naughty?)
