Default Dash plates

If you're talking about the zinc plates for switches gearshift and other details all you can really do is clean them (short of replacing them with reproductions). Once they have faded (and they all do over time) you can't bring them back as far as I know. There was someone here in Queensland making cab 12 sets - can anyone give us the contact details please?

Peter Gough in Brisbane does a very wide range of outstanding data plates for many WW2 vehicles (he can produce on order if he does not have them in stock). You can call him in the evenings on +61 7 5548 6420 for international or for Australians 07 5548 6420.

Default Reproduction Chevrolet Switch Plates

Hi all - this subject has come up before. Bob C (Boobee) indicated that Jeff Caldwell had made replicas of these. However I attempted to communicate with Jeff on several occasions but never received a response, so gave it up as a bad job. If anyone can confirm Jeff has these or get him to communicate I would appreciate it. I have considered replicating these myself in a decal similar to my instrument decals but if someone, Jeff, has done this in a cost effective manner, I would prefer just to buy in.
Bob

Default Salesman Bob To The Rescue

Hi all - it has been a while since Luke had the problem, but now all is solved. Behold, a new set of plates is now in my inventory complete with the correct drive pins/screws or whatever you want to call them. Other Transmission Plates are also available. As always PM me if interested.

Default Chevrolet Plates

Hi Rich - I have done some of these plates. Find the thread.

Hi Haridimos - images would be good so I can see what you are talking about.
