How did you engrave the data onto the plate, jeweler or trophy shop. Cost?

i have not had my plate engraved, but a co-worker of mine built a vans rv-6 experimental airplane and had his data plate engraved at a local trophy shop for $15.00. it looked great. his plate had many more characters to engrave than our pilothouse plates. i have thought that it could be stamped by buying a set of the 1/8" letter/number stamps, and making a collet for them to fit and lock into, then inserting the stamp/collet into a milling machine and using the 3 axis of a standard milling machine, just use the quill to drive the stamp into the data plate. that way you have precise distance between letters and rows. i do not think it would take much pressure to make the impression of the letter/number. would work great if you have access to a milling machine! which i happen to have. just a thought! mike in k.c.

Henry, Would you sell these 2 data plates? Also do you still have other parts from these trucks? Dutch

They make tags, which are perfect repros, and will put all the info on them for you.

That is a good site, but you have to have one to make a new one. I believe the original thread was that his was lost.

Their web ad states

"Think of us if you have a corroded, heater holed, sand blasted, over sprayed, rusted, bent or missing problem tag"

so it looks like they do repro missing tags they may want proof but a photocopy of the title should be good enough
