I need to update the VIN section "Help" ...
I'd like to add sample pictures of VIN Tags, Karman plates, Door Jamb Stickers etc. Here's a list of what i need good quality pictures of: - Small VIN plate at the windshield post - Early large VIN plate on the headlight bucket - Later VIN plate (at the firewall? when was the switchover date?) - VIN stamped into pass. side front fender - Early Karmann plate on the drivers side door jamb - Late Karmann tag on the headlight support - Large door jamb sticker with VIN and build date - Stamped chassis number in the rear trunk. Both locations, in the middle and to the right. - Hand written chassis number on the underside of the dash, near the ashtray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy |

This is an awesome thread Andy, I wish I'd seen it last week, would have saved me some headaches. I thought it might be worth mentioning a couple things...
Karmann Plate on drivers side door jamb, 1970-76, contains Chassis number and paint code, Left door jamb, front, Numbers embossed into aluminum plate, riveted to chassis The chassis number is not included on the tag for the 6-cylinder cars, correct? VIN Plate on the windshield frame, 1970-76, except ROW, Front left windshield inside A-pillar post, Embossed aluminum plate, riveted to chassis Numbers are 'raised' for 4-cylinder cars, 'depressed' for 6-cylinder cars. I believe you already know these things, but I thought it would be worth mentioning here as this thread will undoubtedly be used by many as a reference in the future. Thanks for putting this together! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Reid Here's the Karmann plate on a 1971 914-6 for reference... |
