Hi Dale,
Yep, great minds think alike......allegedly! I reckon the best method is to make a cast as in my previous post. If you google Dalchem in Melbourne, they do a lot of RTV silicones that have high shear and heat resistance, which would be perfect for this application. If I had to guess, about $100 would be your total costs for materials etc to be able to cast your own in resin. That is excluding the cost of getting to Rick's to begin with. The cost for the art/design for 3D Printing for that one type of data plate might cost you 2 to 3 times that, depending on who you approach to do the work. Again, all depends on how deep your pockets are.

If you guys want to make a template up out of resin or 3D print out of plastic, with the right serial numbers and send over to me, I can get them cast for you cheap, so that way you are not sending an original that could get lost, and all I need is the imprint side for the foundry, cheers
