Or, is anyone reproducing them???
Thanks

If every one was willing to pay 300 for a small piece of aluminium then they could be a bit crisper on the edges as it would be worthwhile investing. Top quality stamps were in the region of a £1000 each side or £6000 all in- totally not cost effective. It was still expesive enough to have these done. The pictures show clearly how they are, buyers choiceMark1-Mini wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2024 9:33 am But are very bad copies...

Gordon, mine arrived today and I am really pleased with it, it looks excellent and as I've been after one for well over a year, I am very happy. It lives at the back of the engine, which no one can see but I still wanted one and you were kind enough and prepared to remanufacture them. I salute you!!Catmint wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2024 7:08 pmIf every one was willing to pay 300 for a small piece of aluminium then they could be a bit crisper on the edges as it would be worthwhile investing.

I have a genuine original 1070 engine plate in very good condition that I am happy to sell.
I am in Australia, but it should be easy to post.
PM me if interested.
Cheers.

I think Catmint has done the right thing...
I have a friend who does high end restorations ..of buildings not cars. A prime rule is that replacement items should represent the original item but be distinguishable from it... for the benefit of future restorers and historians.
Its a real conundrum; genuine but tatty or a shiny copy???
Cheers, Ian
