Nameplates

Post by chrispearce » Sat Mar 07, 2020 2:55 am

Can anyone recommend a supplier for bespoke brass nameplate/numberplate engraving? I am doing 16mm SM32 and need somewhere where I can obtain nameplates with my own names on them. Many thanks in anticipation.

MDC supply ready-to-fit (no cutting from a fret), ready painted, nothing to pay until you have them, and usually within six weeks...

Handy tips about fixing them into place. Thanks, I'll remember the cocktail stick trick next time.

And don't use glue, silicone or even blu tack works!
