Hi Svenn

I had a set of new Nomenclature plates done and stamped by a guy in Holland. He does stamping and has 5 types of fonts that can be used. You can check him out on: www.dataplates4u.com I found him to be very good and he forwarded my new set of stamped plates for my 1942 MB Willys Jeep to Australia in no time at all. He also does research on the serial numbers as well.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Svenn,
Tony is right in advising you to contact Robert at http://www.dataplates4u.com/
I had a blank New Old Stock M29C Weasel Ord plate stamped by Robert and might I say I am impressed with his work. I also needed a complete weasel hull tag made from scratch. I will let the attached photo do the talking. Robert is your man.
Cheers
John W.

Hi, I have been in touch with Robert at dataplates4U, this was his reply...

"Hello Andy,

This sort of stamping can only be done with special tooling, which I do not have for this style...
So I can not help you with this unfortunately.

Regards Robert de Ruyter"
It would seem another outlet is needed.

Default Dataplate stamping

I have been trying to get data plates made for the carriers .I have tride alot of places in the USA but the problem is that if it is like a motor vehicle plate there is law in USA and Canada against having the tools for this and making a plate . David at DKlone@aol.com does the etching plates in the USA .I tride a addressograft machine but the numbers and letters are too small .maybe I can get them done in holland .Too make the carrier plate its called reverce stamping and you need letters male and female that are backwards for both sides of the plate

Threads from softskin and Carrier forums merged and moved to the Restoration forum.

Thanks for the heads up, Tony.
