I have a picture of it in the registry... The painter that I used to paint
the car was sniffing too many fumes and lost it... amongst other things ...
like drip rails... How do you lose drip rails...
Anywho,
I also found these 2 places, but they are in the UK... and everything I've
purchased from the UK always seems to get lost in the mail.

Thanks in advance.
>>>Wilkinson sells pretty good ones, with the embossed
letters/numbers.A You should ideally have your old one in-hand to
ensure you get the correct data, as typically the plastic tag
reflects a different date (completion date) from the one spelled out
in the VIN.A In early 1972 they are seemingly the same, but then
afterwards they drift to being a month apart and by 1974 they were

Wilkinson's tags could easily be perfect, but they're not.A The
font/printing is a little bit off, which is only noticeable if you
compare them side-by-side with originals.
What's truly hilarious is that somebody (Mayberry I think?) was
selling some where the word "Carrozzeria" was mispelled
completely!A I think it started with a "G" by mistake or something
like that?A Hilarious!
