[Healeys] Replacement chassis ID plate question

[Bill Shipton]

Hi all,

I am wanting to replace the chassis ID plate on my 1958 BN6. There seems 
to be two types of aftermarket replacement chassis ID plates
available, from what I can see, for my era car:

Type 1: Rectangular, black and silver, without a silver border (the one 
that's on there now, clearly an aftermarket replacement)
Type 2: Same as type 1, but with a silver border (as per the original ID 
plate on my BN7)

I'm assuming that the correct plate is type 2, as every photo I've ever 
seen of BN6/BN7 original  chassis ID plates were of type 2 - but the 
only plates
that vendors seem to stock now are type 1....

Can any of you Healey gurus help me out here as to:

1. Confirming which is the correct original style chassis ID plate?

 and assuming type 2 is correct for my car -

2. Who stocks the type 2 chassis ID plate?


Thanks,


Bill.
