Where did you get your Datsun ID plate from? I need a new one.

cheers for the comments fellas. the plan is to have it fitted out in engine bay
and underneath in next couple of months, may even do some interior stuff
that I can do now.

the datsun firewall plate was made by a company in Auckland,
I had a couple of runs done of them and flicked them off.
Think they were called 'cutting edge' cost a wee bit for setup, but printing costs
were not that bad. that was a few years back I got them done.

The guy I know that does does perfect copies of any ID plate is Peter Buckley in Tauranga. You can just buy a single plate.
His mobile phone number is: 027 657 6607
Landline: 07 578 7839
From memory they might be $20...

I've been meaning to have another run of plates laser cut for a very long time.

Spent a couple of hours over the weekend sorting out brakes.
had to reshape some of the hard lines a little bit. My new braided front lines all worked sweet.
few teething problems, with rear cylinders popping their seals and leaking fluid all over the floor
but once I fitted new shoes seem tos ort it out (I think they were extending too far to get shoes to
grab the drum due, to heavily worn pads I was setting up with, and the fact cylinders were new and
drums have been machined).

So I have 'pedal' , and will give them a good bleed out, to get them sorted a bit better when I have
someone here to help me.

some pics for those interested.
