    Re: Chassis Plates

    Had my first one engraved "Reprica built by Guy Mayers" but the one attached to the car says "Replica built by Guy Mayers", and the engraver paid for that and did it for free��

    Sorry for the slight off-topic post, but that engraving cock-up just reminded me of a birthday cake that was made years ago by some catering company for my niece, Melanie...it turned up on the day with "MELONY" on the top...her Mum went ballistic
    Still laugh whenever I think of it, hahaha!

    More seriously Guy ; if you want to save it you can easily with apneumatic little spheric grinder cancel that punching or engraving and leave a new clean rectangle for another engraving ????

    Originally as you probably know those plates where "punched " with separate big numbers .....

    With the price of a plate at £20 it's not worth the time and trouble to attempt a repair on it but thanks for the thoughts!
