Engine number plate + acid = aaaargh

The acid dip ate my engine number plate , there are only the rivets left.
Sounds a bit shady but is it possible to get a replacement one pressed.

Also beware that the acid will eat away any brass oilway plugs.

Don't ask how I know !

I have taken them all out woody

I will need to replace the single cam liner though. Doesn't seem to be available any more, I wonder if one of the set of 3 for a later model will fit. ?

I'm pretty sure the front one from the set is the same.

Look on the bright side - at least you should be able to take the two rivets out now without too much bother.

When the engine plate is in place it is really difficult to get the rivets out without trashing the plate...
