Gary,

 

Assuming you mean the aluminium plates stamped with a number and without any of the other information found on the commission number plate, these cannout be bought as a new item.

 

However, you may be able to make a replacement if you have access to the correct stamping or engraving equipment that would allow you to mark the body number onto an appropriately shaped piece of aluminium.

 

Personally, I would stick with what you have and not worry about it, as the numbers don't mean a great deal.

Gary,

 

You need to clarify exactly what you mean.

 

There was a commission number plate, with the commission number

stamped on, painted black with various raised lettering giving some

general data on the car. This was fixed to the bulklhead near the wiper

motor (rhd cars).

Then there was what was strictly the body number - a plain aluminium

plate with nothing but the CT body number stamped on. This was fixed

to the bulkhead behind the battery.

(Positions valid for early 4s, I think later ones were the same)

 

The former are sort-of available though may be subject to some restrictions

to avoid 'cloning' a car's identity.

The latter have never been available.
