I.D. plates on steering head - when did they start?

[tomcourtney]

I don't know if these are any good but it looks right these were used on many models including the USA market early Z50AK1's
I have just bought one and will let you guys know when it arrives.

Well I received my Repo No number plate during the week, and I have compared it to my original and the other repo sticker type available,
and after reading the sellers Ad Words again it gets a thums down from me. The printing is good but the Alloy plate is very different, why do people mislead you when selling their product This repo plate is not as thick the original, REMEMBER, the detail makes a difference.
 How can that be the same as original? its printed on 3M Product 467MP that is 0.11mm thick Polycoated Kraft Paper (PCK) see the 3M Link http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/104064O/high-performance-adhesive-transfer-tapes-with-3m-adhesive-200mp.pdf

Copied from ebay

"Anodized natural aluminum with  black writing
ALU PLATE Size in mm : 91 mm x 27 mm,
Thickness 0.1 mm
Same as the original, the rear site is  with  adhesive glue to join better to the  frame
Like the original, this plate is a sheet of anodized aluminum thickness of 0.1 mm is not a self-adhesive plastic! Thoroughly clean the chassis to be fat before you attach
REMEMBER, the detail makes a difference
      Put your trust in our hands and Buy with confidence"

How disappointing, i was going to buy one of these, other than the thickness and it being 3m label , are the fonts same as original?

Hi Pete, Yes the font is the same and it looks good for size and print.
My gripe is The 3M website says it is Polycoated Kraft Paper, as per my earlier link and Bruno says its Alloy plate, My guess is with a flame applied it may burn? I received a prompt reply from him about my concern and he said they have many pos feedback about them and he offered me a refund if I return it (not worth the effort) It is way better than the repo thin sticker that I previously bought. Best regards Tom

Its looking like my only choice then , as my original is not in good shape especially after peeling it off
