Default How are you gonna do it????

Hi Jordan

Rotters in Ottawa, who have been considering stamping our own copies of Dirk's data plates.... only considering as we would never actually do it......

Were do you get the reverse image alpha/num dies to stamp from behind....??

According to some machinist we talked to in Barrie they do exist but are not readily available.....for example Princess does not have any reverse stamps......

Process is called "embossing" when you stamp them from behind.

Some suppliers in Pittsburg PA.....Panier.... do sell machine that will embosse dog tags, special weather resistant labelling for ezternal pipelines..... but we have not been able to find a supplier of individual letters and numbers......

My VIN number on my modern truck is embossed from the factory.... but no doubt done by machine with a CNC control.....

Any ideas out there where we can find such embossing supply??
