RUBY131 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have seen on this forum reference to a number on the front X member can anyone tell me is it stamped or painted on? Thanks Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi Chris ~ Do you mean the 'Z' number stamped on the front cross member? I have a full list of these 'Z' numbers. They denote the year of the car manufacture. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUBY131 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi Tom yes thats the number I mean but my South African car has been so heavily over sealed before I scrape it off it would be nice to have an idea where it is and how it is applied stamp or painted.

iain Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 These Z numbers are the subject of some controversy. I think the current theories are they represent year of manufacture or perhaps more likely they are Chassis type numbers? I am searching for the Gerard ? article but cant find it.......Don where are you ? (I am sure you will have it filed) Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
