Title: RM 465/500 VIN Plate
Post by: AdamN on October 30, 2011, 10:40:24 am
Hi everyone,

I saw on EBay in the States the other day someone doing repro VIN plates for an RM500. Was someone on here a while ago getting some made, or looking at getting some made? I have done a bit of a search, but I can't remember what the thread was. Anybody got any leads on where I could get a template to send to the sign man, or even if someone saw and saved the EBay auctions for the RM500 ones recently. If need be I can send this pic to him, but if someone has had a sign guy make one then the set up is already there.
Here is the plate in question:

I want to attach one to my recently restored RM465X. On the subject of RM's and after looking at lukeb's resource page, how can I work out what month my 465 was made with the VIN numbers?

Cheers for any help guys,

Adam

Hi crankpin,
so far, no I haven't. I did find the EBay seller who had the 500 one's and asked if he could do 465 ones but that has gone nowhere :'(. Tmman, is this "tricity" person on here or on EBay? I would like to get one of these VIN plates to finish it off.
