Default Unit plate holder

Yesterday, I received a TAC plate holder that I had bought from ebay.

I knew that being a more modern version it would be too small to be accurate. So this morning I took it to a local steel fabricator to have two manufactured in the correct size, as well as two of the plates that fit into the holder. Should be ready for me by mid next week.

I already have the red paint for the background, but will need to re-visit a signwriting company for the numbering & letters. While the place I enquired about vehicle numbers was 'OK', I will try another local place for this project, so I can decide which one I get best service/price from.

Also bought a "Fast Moving Parts" catalog for Ford Canada vehicles from late 20s to late 40s. There is currently another seller with one of these on ebay, for buy it now of $125.00! Mine was significantly less It went all the way through a 9 day auction without bids, so I contacted seller once ended and made an offer

Is Australian seller and should arrive by the weekend.
