Clarke restorations will stamp a repro chassis plate for the diagonal brace to
the left of the engine with authentic British lettered dies.  It's up to you to
provide the most authentic looking chassis plate for Todd to stamp.  The engine
plate he makes and stamps is a dead-on ringer for the original.  The body plates
in the door frames can be made, but Todd does not have the correct size number
stamp dies for these.  The ones he does have are close and only a concours judge
would know the difference.
