Datsun 260Z (Rs30) Id Plates ( For Sale )

[Enzo]

Hello Guys,

My 1976 260z ID Plate has had 40 years of wear and tear, and as such the paint has worn off leaving only the chassis and engine numbers which were stamped on. I have had a replacement plate made which is laser etched which should last for the next 40 years. This is NON ORIGINAL. The originals were painted.

I have had a few spares made, so if anyone is after a replacement plate they are $50 posted. I can stamp them if required. ( SIZE is 6x8cm )

Regards

David (Enzo)

A great job David...I'm surprised that you haven't had any replies posted.

If you can get the typeface right (I know it's not really a consideration for your car) you might have a market for selling these for owners of other Datsun's also.

 

Just gotta get the stamping of numbers right also!

Hi Guys,

             The company I am dealing with is the same one that did the gearknob inserts. They can only do the laser etched plate like the picture. This was the third attempt as they were working off a picture that I supplied and had to try and adjust the thickness of the writing so it stood out ok. There are companies in Australia and America that do the painted version on ebay. I had ordered one from Australia last year because they said that they were a faithful reproduction but they were 10x8 cm where my plate was 6x8cm so I returned it. I'm happy with what they did to the laser plate as my car is not original. Also since the engine change I can restamp with the correct number.

Have a good weekend Guys.

Regards David.

This is my original and one that I bought online here ...as can be seen the type is totally different.

Andrew,

I won't be doing any other ID plates as the cost for the artwork adds up. Most people only want something that looks original. I needed one for my 260z and got a few extras made just in case I could recoup some of the cost. In the first posting you can see all of the paint has rubbed off mine leaving only the stamped numbers. As I stated, the replacements are NON ORIGINAL. I'm also not sure of different model sizes. Mine was 6x8cm.

Cheers David.

 

 

Just realised that the RS30 and L26 was left off in the stamped number section when my plates were made. I hadn't noticed. I will have to get them remade. ( Feel a bit like an idiot ).
