The number plate on my newly acquired '67 MGB  was removed by the PPO 
(Prior Previous Owner) when he was preparing the car for paint and was put 
back on with bolts.  Apparently , those bolts were not on there very tight 
and they (along with the plate) came loose and fell off the car on the way 
home Sunday.   We looked both there and here, plus the floor of the 
trailer, so it must be somewhere on the highway between here and Alvin, TX.

I know that Moss, and others, sell replacements plates for ~$5.00 so I will 
order one of those.  A couple questions about using a replacements.  I know 
the correct body (VIN) number for the car from the title.

What is the correct way it is written with as far as where the spaces, 
"/"'s and "-"'s would go?   All I have from the title is GHN3L112###, I 
think it should go G-HN3-L/112### .  That is right?

What is the best place to get it stamped on the plate so it looks right?

What is the best way to attach it to the car?  I don't want to just pop 
rivet it (unless that's right)

Which way does the writing face?

Thanks
Patton
