Vin Plate Engraving

[mcramsay]

Does any one do this or know of a good company that can supply an IVA acceptable blank and engrave with supplied details?

I got mine done at the local engravers, the type of shop that does trophies etc.

 

he did it on a black plate which has silver underneath, letters come out in silver cost me £8

 

passed the IVA with it having failed on the one i did.

 

has to be in strict order and only details that they want see, format is as below

 

vin plate needs

manufacturer (whatever you want, can make up your own name if thats your bag).

chassis number

total weight in Kg

front axle weight in Kg

rear axle weight in Kg

Sorry to but in on someone thread but thought it relevant to original posters question.

Is there a minimum size of lettering and were did you attach it to?

Probably a dumb question but how do you find out axle weights?

Thanks

A 2B is 450 kg front axle, 650kg rear axle.......

guess what? 1100 kg overall.

These are design weights, not actual weights.

A 2B will be between 700 & 750 kg roadside weight.

 

A zero is a fair bit lighter...I dont know exact weights.

Vin plate doesn't need weights only manufacturer and vin number.

 

Minimum letter sizes are in the manual.
