Hi, i'm merely repeating what i've been told, but as far as i'm aware, the best way is to use the invoice number from GBS for your kit to start then make it up to 17 characters using numbers or letters of your choice.

 

You can have a riveted on plate, BUT, there has to be a stamped on copy of this number, or, if chassis tube deformation is a worry from stamping it's acceptable to stamp a steel plate and WELD this on.

 

If i'm wrong, i apologise, but someone will put us straight if i am.

 

HTH,

When i picked my Zero up Ian aked me what my chassis number is going to be, with a confused look on my face I said can I make one up?

 

He said as long as its 17 digits long and there is no chance of another the same,

 

I chose GBSZERO then my name and birth date.

 

 

Not sure about what nick says about the welded on plate though. so cant confirm that.

hi,

 

I made mine up alike the above. invoice number then random, from what I had read here and other sites.

 

However, after SVA, when I went to register at the DVLA in Wimbledon (May 09), it was suggested that making it up was not ok. Although what I had chosen happened to be ok.

 

To be safe, I would check with your DVLA office, who may be able to reserve you one / confirm yours is ok.

 

regards,

 

Chris

As above really only no o's and no i's allthough you can have 1's and 0's (noughts).

 

17 digits of numbers and letters, nothing rude mind you (as I was told in December)

 

Hope that helps,

Sorry forgot to add that the letters must be 7mm as per IVA regs. Mine had to be stamped in a single line on the offside of the chassis. No welded plates, I asked.

 

IVA'd at Birmingham Dec 09

Mm, might give DVLA a call, can't find anything on their website..

[Guest jimmylegs]

I hope i can make my own up, maybe write something rude but backards..

Hi, spoke to Ian at GBS and said you can make it up yourself. You need 17 digets, made mine up from RHSC2B then purchase date and invoice date. Thanks Neil.

Made my own up, RHES3A then my lottery numbers ran to 17 digits. Put it on my SVA application and never got questioned. SVA Beverley, registered Lincoln. Used to refuse to SVA unless a vin was stamped, ie. Need a vin number to process paper work for IVA appointment.

when I had my 2b done a few years ago the chap at the build up inspection said they preferred to issue the reg No so they can keep them in order
