KOHLER ENGINE SPEC PLATE REMEDY

Recommended Posts

Vinylguy

I finally took the time to replicate the engine spec plate.

Once I get the correct dimensions I think there are two

ways to do it. the left decal would be applied to your

existing aluminum plate after refurbishing or possibly

making the decal on a brushed aluminum vinyl the

same way I make the other brushed aluminum decals.

What would be the preferred solution?

terry, ive been thinking about this for quite a while and while i like the idea of applying to a refurb original plate, i also like the decal complete on brushed aluminum with custom #s.

by the way, serial numbers look familiar ...... :ychain:

Open one can of premium worms!!! LOL

Glad I asked for dimensions Martin.

I got an email today about this project from a non member and he told me

they were 2 x 4 inch. I will set the dimensions right now.

besides the k241 how many other numbers like k181 and so on.

Martin are your dimensions are for the black area or the aluminum plate?

Don't tell anyone but I am making a test run on a set of 420 lse chrome and burgundy decals.

These are two things I promised myself to get done before the busy season.

Keeping fingers crossed. Very difficult to do these on chrome and get a good run.

i have plates with k181, k241, k301 and k321. not sure about any others.

i think they are all the same except model number. something tells me the k181 is different though. i will check.....

black area, but i can get the overall plate size if you want.

I'll be interested in at least two of the K181S. I think for my situation it would be better to have it printed on the brushed aluminum. Both my ID plates are pretty corroded. I think you'll find a lot of interest in these. Good Luck and thanks.

Thanks Dave

Once I get the dimensions accurate I will be listing them.

guess I will have to list both and let members decide.

heres the issue (you did mention worms didnt you?)

the k181 tag is different to the k241 i gave you as a sample. the 'before starting' and the 'to stop' area vary. the k181 is positioned slightly different as well....

and valve clearances are different.

I guess until I get a good scan of the K181 the K241 is all I can list for now.
