JTY Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Dear all What would be the correct place for the commission number and body number plates for a CKD Mechelen, Belgium early built 1970 TR6 Pi , 1CP502xxLP? Pic 1: body number plate in the rear left inner rear wing - believed to be correct https://www.flickr.com/photos/28582840@N05/45332615845/in/dateposted-public/ Pic 2: absence of body number plate on the bulkhead right hand side, rivets in place - believed to be correct https://www.flickr.com/photos/28582840@N05/45521651434/in/dateposted-public/ Pic 3: absence of commission number plate on the left inner wheel arch, rivets in place (although not present in the picture) - believed to be correct https://www.flickr.com/photos/28582840@N05/45332613985/in/dateposted-public/ Pic 4: commission number plate in the engine compartiment in front of the bulkhead right hand side - believed to be correct https://www.flickr.com/photos/28582840@N05/45521649114/in/dateposted-public/ Are my assumptions correct or ...? Many thanks in advance for your replies. Kind regards Jeroen PS: Sorry, some issues embedding the images obviously; looking into the matter as we speak but not very succesful so far...

Waldi Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Jeroen, I have lhd CP513xxL: I have a large commissioning plate in the lhs inner wheelarch with 2 rivets, as you think you should have, with commisioning number etc. and a tack welded body nr(?) on the inner rear wheer arch , similar like you. and I have a thicker aluminium plate (strip) riveted to the rhs bulkhead, reading 506xxCP. Regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think you should have the two missing ones also you should have the chassis number stamped on the right hand front suspension rear inner mounting box or on the top of the chassis near to that. Also some had chassis number stamped into the top right hand of the foot well behind where the riveted plate goes. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTY Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Many thanks. Will look into it a little further. Any additional information on placing of the plates on Mechelen, Belgium CKD cars still welcome. Jeroen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 You can just see on this Mechelin built TR5 on the top of the right hand foot well the stamped chassis number also on the suspension box too. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTY Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks, Stuart! The chassis number on the suspension box is also present on my TR6, complete with certificate and date that it was stamped right there. I don't however, have the number on the right footwell as shown in the TR5 pic. Note the two holes that I believe hold the rivets of the body number tag in your first picture. Do you know whether the tag is present on this TR5 or not? I have been asking around locally and it seems that some Mechelen built CKD TR6s had them and some didn't. A bit like 'mood of the day' at the factory or ...? Kindest regards Jeroen Edited December 13, 2018 by JTY typo :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 As far as I can tell from the original pictures of the car when it came to me before it was stripped down no there wasnt a plate fitted there. Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
