Hi Don, and welcome.

I had to simply paint the number plates for Harvey's T2, as I couldn't find any small enough.

You might try suppliers of 'Vintage' Motorcycle parts, they might just be about the right size, but not cheap I would guess.

Any decent Motorcycle accessory shop (Google 'M & P Accessories', Swansea) can supply numberplates in 'kit' form, in various sizes, but these are not for road use (well, not on motorcycles), and can be supplied in standard oblong or square formats.

As for the paint, I think that the Land Rover Paint Guy (honest) is the best bet, but someone else will have to give the details to you.
He has been mentioned in previous postings on here, so a read through might just reveal what you're looking for.
Alternatively, any decent 'Auto' paint supplier should be able to mix the colour for you, in either 'spray' or 'brushing' enamel.

Hope this long winded answer has helped.

Regards,
Mark.

Many thanks for the replies they were most helpful. I suppose that being retired is a bonus but I must say that I am finding the build addictive and rewarding

Regards to all other builders
