hatepotholez Posted January 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2017 Looking for a 240z dash vin tag, lost mine and want to have it reproduced. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted January 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2017 I don't see that one in Mike McGinnis' catalog (http://www.zzxdatsun.com/catDecals.php), but I suggest contacting him. He's great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatepotholez Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks, he is great and I've bought a few parts from Mike. He told me he can do it for around $450, a little pricey not his fault due to the necessary molds and such. Going to have to go elsewhere unfortunately.

grannyknot Posted January 14, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 14, 2017 I have a couple of old dashes, I could send you a vin tag so at least you would know the size, thickness, typeset and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martzedcars Posted January 22, 2017 Share #11 Posted January 22, 2017 Did you know that euro cars don't have those vin tags on the dash? Only under the hood on the type plate and in the chassis of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascubadude Posted June 7, 2017 Share #12 Posted June 7, 2017 I have a similar issue :/ The Z I just acquired has been in my girlfriends family for a long time (30 plus years) but it has been parked upwards of 20 of them. It was her uncles who passed in his 30s and now nobody knows the history of the car for the most part. They do know it was stolen at one point which is why it unfortunately has a salvage title since here in good old CA theft recoveries are assigned salvage titles when/if recovered. So as a result the thieves pulled off the dash VIN tag and now I am left trying to figure out how to make a new one. I have friends that own metal shops, plating shops etc etc but I need to get my hands on an original so I can duplicate it as closely as possible. The font, size, thickness, etc etc. grannyknot, do you happen to have another old one hanging around I can get a hold of even if just for a bit..... or perhaps if hatepotholez has made any progress duplicating them from the original grannyknot sent he could share some knowledge. Thanks guys.... and thanks to everyone that contributes to the board. I have learned a ton already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
