Repro data tags

[foxfab]

wow, no comments yet from the peanut gallery? I had to change my shorts I was so happy about how they turned out.

How do I order mine again? E-mail you what Mr. Biggs sent me and paypal the money?

Well now, if you think they look good in pictures, you've got to actually see em!

 

[foxfab]

Mine is done. $60 for stamping at datatags.com. I'll post a pic once I get it in my hands.

Much of a leap to repro the shifting and tire pressure tags on the dash using the same process? Or are you already on it! I have good examples if required...out of curiousity, are the new data tags laser etched from black coated aluminum stock?

 

[foxfab]

OOH, send em to me. I dont have any to repro. PM me.

 

[FJnotCJ]

These are them...I know Living would like a set too, will PM...

 

[foxfab]

much better than mine

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

You don't have any Mike? Never thought about it, I would have loaned you a set with the other plate. I'll pop some in the mail or drop them off if you want to repro them.

 

[FJnotCJ]

Jim's got the ball

 

[foxfab]

I do, but I dont think they're good enough to get repro'd. Mine are missing a lot of the info.

My stamped tag arrived from datatags.com.

Man do I have wood!!!!

The stampings are a little smaller than original, but you wouldnt know it unless you put one next to the other. I'll post up a pic on Frinday when its light out.

 

[LandCruiserSteve]

My stamped tag arrived from datatags.com.

Mike, did you ever get a pic of your completed stamped tag? I want to see how the numbers should be laid out.

 

[foxfab]

I'll send you a picture of the original that I was working from. I still havent taken a pic of mine.

 

[LandCruiserSteve]

I'll send you a picture of the original that I was working from.

Thanks, Mike.

Finally, a pic of my stamped tag:

 

[zetasig]

is the firewall tag and the door tag the same size, I am missing a door tag. Thanks Warren.

 

[foxfab]

door tag? there is no door tag on an FJ25

door tag? there is no door tag on an FJ25

Mike, I think zetasig is trying to locate a door jam VIN plate for an FJ40. Saw his post over in FJ40/55 Tech. Would DataTags be able to do those as well?

 

[foxfab]

Ahh, I dunno. Believe it or not, I've owned almost every US model of Cruiser EXCEPT an FJ40. I've never even sat in a 40 Post up a pic. If the stamping is only numbers, then they can probably do it. But I'd need to khave tags made and there would need to be a market for it.
