Where can I send off a new color data plate for paint code number stamping, trying to look original for a 1970 T Conda green. Number is 26 26 G .
Photo of plate in the car now.

You can do it yourself.

You need to buy a set of steel stamps.

The closest size is 3/32nds (2.4mm)

Young Bros. Stamp Works, INC.
Muscatine, Iowa

Item 02361

Very close to original size and font.

Others may chime in with exact Concours options.

I hunted for a while and tried different sizes etc.

I think that you can still buy a repo, from that Serria something and Eagleday had them.

I have an original blank plate and would like to use it.

Before I buy the stamps, maybe someone has a set with a 2, 6, and G stamps and I'll pay them for their time.
I can help off-set the cost of their purchase.

Vr,
Scott

Contact International Mercantile. They have the plates and the ability to stamp them.

(as they could be considered a potential Pelican competitor, I'm unsure about posting the URL or # here)

If you email me at cooper.boggs@gmail.com
I'll help you out.

Can you also post or email me macro close up shot of the numbers/letters on your code plate.

I'll stamp a scrap piece of AL. and we can compare the font.

If its close enough I'll stamp your plate for the cost of postage to send the plate round trip.

Here is what my stamps look like in your code:




Here is a shot next to an original tag from a 1970 914-4. Fairly similar font and size. Note how sloppy the tags were stamped, each digit is individually struck.




Here is a shot next to an original tag from a 1971 914-4. Note that the font is now different for the upper chassis #, while the lower paint code is still similar to what I have. Paint code is very crooked as well.
