I did a few of those in the day Steve. I used to use a plastic number plate nut as a packing , but then l had access to hundreds ! You would have made life easier if you'd put a rear no plate screw in place to hold the plate steady whilst marking the other side. Did l tell you the story of a friend who brought a very clean but high mileage 2000 TC into my shop and asked if he could give it a "hair cut " whilst l did some paintwork ? Well he removed the speedo , took off the back and someone had written "oh no not again!" 50 years later and l still chuckle ! Thanks Steve .
I understand what your saying with the rear number plate, however it's not possible to do this due to my centre punch being to bulky for the hole, and would cause the plate to bend if I did it the way you suggest. What I'd give for a time machine and a one way ticket to the 1960's, I'd be very happy living back then 👍
I'd really like to own this Rover model again. I owned one in the 70s for a short while. I didn't shut the bonnet properly one day and the bonnet flew up while going along and bent both corners. I never got around to having to renew the inboard brakes so I'm looking forward to a video of you doing that job. Best of luck.
Don’t know how you got those holes in the right place… if you divide the measurement by half then you multiply it by two as I understand it ! Oh well it worked out in the end…
I said it's half the number plate height for one line. Then for the other line to cross over, half the distance of the last letter to the end of the number plate. There was no mention of multiplying, just use the same measure each end for the measures to be the same 👍
Hi Martin, I got them from Frampton's number plates, they tend to be a lot higher standard of number plate than most, hears a link to there website www.framptonsplates.com/
