not sure, probably not much if i get a decent sized batch..... they will have to be laser cut... probably stainless/aluminium, engraved and then individually stamped, could be brushed, polished or matt, matt will be cheapest. Think it will be 2/3 companies so each plate will probably be 10-15 squid at a guess.... with a decent batch size of 20 or so min.

Aluminium could be anodised so we would have a choice of colours and finishes.

Rob,

Rob,
haha, unfortunately you would be looking at thin air, i would have CAD bitched some up and had them made if there wasn't already a source of decent ones above

They would have looked very similar to your friends tbh, a copy of the standard ford ones, i would have probably used aluminium and had them anodised before engraving etcetc,

Cheers

Rob,

Some plates I've made to restoration projects. They're blank so you need to punch your own numbers.

I am able to reproduce any plate needed with reasonable costs and with high accuracy.

If interested, please contact marko[at@]hannulat[dot.]com or visit www.hannulat.com

Hi!

Thanks. Yes - they are screen printed. Plates can also be CNC machined or made with acid / engraving methods.
