Les Brock Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 As in where is it supposed to be ? A picture would really help at this point The Man from the ministry is visiting soon and I have to prove the Chassis number, Now it's a 73 Vintage was rusty as hell when I got it with no dodgy grinder marks, I had it shot blasted once it was stripped down and welded up etc and I've never seen a number on it Have they always been numbered ?, as far as I can tell its supposed to be........in front of the spring mount but which side ? I cleaned mine right back to the bare metal both sides, no mean task (3 coats of Galvafroid, chassis black, underseal and Waxoyll....did'nt want to do it again... ) and the chassis is cleary pitted were it was rusty but no fuppin number......Hhhhheeeelllllllpppppppppppppp ! ! !....

landrover598 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It should be inbetween the 4 bolts which hold the steering box on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ta, well if its there.........I can't see it....best get some thicker glasses...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Get some punches and restamp it Paint over it (do the whole chassis leg to make it look less sus) and cover with enough mud to make it look old, yet can still read the number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ouch Dave! That's a nasty hole in your chassis rail! I hope you welded it up before you got it galvanised.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 hmm The galv completly covered over the number, so i had to stamp the new one on and i put it on the other side of the spring mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 you mean stamp the old one back on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Me ? No i stamped on the new one to go with the Q-plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hmm... that's not where the number is on my Ninety. Maybe I should shut up at this point because LRs are different / I'm mistaken / mine's a ringer, but it's further down the leg, on the extended bit where the "dumb iron" pokes forward under the bumper to take the LR 4ft screw jack thing. On the bit that RRs probably don't have. Ignore me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 As you said, Rangies don't have that extra bit so it on the main leg, yours should and is on the extra bit under the bumper B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 quote TB but it's further down the leg, on the extended bit where the "dumb iron" pokes forward under the bumper to take the LR 4ft screw jack thing. Exactly correct for a 90/110/127/130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 WOOHOO my car's not stolen! I'm done now. Meanwhile, Les, if you need some punches I can get hold of some - let me know before the weekend and I'll drop them off on Sunday night.

SimonPearson Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It should be inbetween the 4 bolts which hold the steering box on That's exactly where mine is on my 1973 RaRo chassis. Les, it's hard to see it on such an old chassis - put your other glasses on Dear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Oh I need my reading glasses... Still can't see it, no grinding marks, just pitting where it was well and truly blasted Big Sigh ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
