Is anyone restoring old data plates these days?

[Jack the Knife]

I've found some threads and contacts from many years ago, but is anyone out there offering this service right now, or else offering an authentic substitution? This is for the plate on the firewall.

Jackson, just to make sure, you are talking about the VIN plate in the firewall padding cutout?

[Jack the Knife]

Yes, that's the one. Mine is looking pretty grim now.

The only 100% authentic reproduction is made by a guy in Germany. Send  mw PM for contact details.

Jackson: I found this on ebay. These are blanks. Don't know if the seller would provide finishing them. I have a source in Switzerland who does motorcycle VIN plates, finishe with the data. I can check if he does others.

Hey Mike, many thanks for the source. I did PM Sead and it appears there is a fellow (whose contact I did see listed in an old thread on the forum) who is making and engraving the VIN plates rather inexpensively, so he and I worked a deal this morning. Will report on results!

[AndrewB]

Hi Jack, I used his services (I think his name is Mehmet ?) a few years back and was super happy with the quality of his work. He was a pleasure to deal with

Memmo is a member here and does these for quite some time. He is the best in business and you can't go wrong.
