[6pack] VIN tag

[Bob Labuz]

James,

You may have to remove the current frame and install the correct vin 
plate that matches your door plate.

When I restored my 6, I was working on the frame and noticed the plate 
on the inside of the WS frame. I had no idea what it was at the time 
until I asked a few questions on the 6 pack forum.

At that point I removed it and cleaned it up before re-installing the 
plate.

The DMV here in NY never asked to look at either plate when I went in to 
register the car. I took my paperwork down and came away with the title 
and plates. The car never left my garage.

In fact, any car, bike that I have registered was never inspected for 
correct VIN tags by the dmv.


I am surprised that your dmv even knew about the ws vin plate even existed.

You would think they could do a search for both vin #s to insure the car 
is not stolen or whatever.
