Can anyone tell me which way the chassis plate should face?? some pictures show the chassis plate facing out and some show it facing in. Is there a right way???

Thanks

On the unmolested cars that I've owned the chassis plate has always faced out. Quite often you see them turned round to face the engine bay on restored cars.

any other views on this??

No, I have the same view as Pete.

I have spoken to several people and the general consensus is that unrestored cars have the chassis plate facing out so thats the way I put it. Thanks everyone!

Interesting. All I've seen over here (CKDs), original and untouched, have the numbers facing the engine.

Apparently there may be some difference between the cars made at Cowley and the cars made at Longbridge but for my SDL it seems that facing out is right. Thats what the people who are in the know seem to think anyway.
