Its not a sticker, its an engraved metal plate.

Check with RedSquare member "chevelletown".

He made some a few years ago.

I have never seen one. Could you post a picture of the tag you are needing?

This is a pic of one i found on google. Its the entire metal plate between the throttle controls. A reproduction would be better than what i have right now, which is a blank metal plate.

Here's a semi-legible one, TD:

This is what they usually end up looking like:

Apparently they were made of nickel-plated steel.

Thats about what i got, looks like crap on my shiny new paint job.

Of course I do not do metal tags but if I had the dimensions I will try to make a thick Brushed aluminum

reproduction that would certainly look nicer.

A sticker could be placed over a new 'base plate', so you're certainly still in the game.

If Ken (chevelletown) doesn't beat me to it, I have the info. Finding it may be a problem. :hide:

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

I found my "cleaned-up" pattern, but have no idea what the dimensions are any more. (I sold my 400 a few years ago)

This is all I can give you, TD:

The back border is not part of the plate.

[Vinylguy 4,692]

I just redrew from your first post TT

All we need are accurate dimensions of the hxw

and apply the decal to a refurbished tag.

God...I love Red Square. You guys are amazing for sure. Thumbs up. :)

If you can make up a decal i will buy one, let me know how they turn out.

1.75 x 4.0 -- I could send you the actual plate if that would help make things easier

If Ken still makes them, they are very nice repros. Bought one from him a couple of years ago. BUT, I would not be opposed at all to buying a nice decal to attach to the old plate if I needed another one.

Im kinda in the same boat i just picked up a 1960 400 from the same guy i got lawn ranger. I have worked on the original tag but not sure i want to put it back on. here is what mine looks like after about an hour with break free clp gun cleaner and a copper wire brush.

not to bad i can even read the S/N 37875.

there was a guy at kelly's show in michigan that makes the repops with whatever serial number you want they were'nt too expensive either just dont know what his name was right now someone that was at that show may know who he is

[wallfish 18,191]

SORRY it is actually 1.5 x 4 My mistake. Here's a scan of the plate.
