 Re: can new chassis plates be made? Neil wrote: i'm sure mid 70's 2cv's had the above type black n' silver plates rivetted on he bulkhead as the plain alloy ones of the 80's - if you can get away with a bit of alloy with some very amateur looking stamping on it, i'm pretty certain you can pull off an earlier type plate...? You only need the number, it helps to stamp it into a proper citroen style plate, but I've made my own more than once with nothing more than a set of number punches.

Re: can new chassis plates be made? on my 75 the plate was like the black one, but on the chassis, underneath one of the driveshafts. I rescued that before cutting up the old chassis.
