Default Plates

Hi Hanno
Yes these are from an Australian source. The main difference is apart from the publications plate ours were sent blank and hand stamped at the factory.

Here's an example of a FGT No9:



The FGT No9 body ID was stamped onto a brass nomenclature plate which was affixed to the engine cover.

And here's a NOS example of the zinc plate.



Likewise the complete set as used here only has details on the publications plate. The second plate down with the SM was normally replaced by the one you see in the one on the vehicle in the first image in this post.

Excellent! I take it these are from an Australian source? I am asking because I am under the assumption the third plate is typically Australian? Attached goes a pic of the other three plates on the door of Canadian-assembled Fords.

Hanno
