Default Plates

G,Day Tony
I have a plate for an LP2 off the carrier I just bought and I have had a foundary knock up a tool to recast it in cast iron. Once the tool is made they cast in batches of 6, so some will be up for sale. There are blank sections on the plate for stamping the place of manufacture and serial numbers. I have also put a blank section in for the year of manufacture. I have seen plates from "Ford Sydney" that had the year 1941 ground off the plate and 1942 stamped onto it. This will allow more people to make use of the repo plates. The makers have tried to keep the metal as close as possible to the original and make it soft enough to stamp the information on without snapping. With the making of the tool and casting,each plate should be around $140 -150. I can have as many made as I like if they prove to be suitable and the price will come down. I will have them just before Christmas and will post a picture on the forum when I get them.
Regards
Grant
