Eriks,
One of the Bugeyes I acquired a few years ago was missing the chassis plate
(the one under the air clearners), and the engine number. I wanted to
acquire a BMIHT cert. also, and after writing the Heritage Trust, I was
informed that the number from the RIGHT hand door post (number begins
BAE...} would suffice for the trace. I also learned from my research that
the chassis number is also written in crayon on the back of the dashboard
(though not always still legible after 40 years), and sometimes across the
jump seat under the mat. I did have the number plate from the RH door post
and succeeded in getting my certificate. My MKIV does have the chassis
number stamped on the RH shock mounting plate and also on the RH floorboard
near the crossmember, but I have never observed numbers in these locations
on a Bugeye.
Cheers,
Gerard
