Does anyone know the height of the lettering used for the chassis number in the trunk? Or, could measure it, please? I'm trying to replicate the Karmann number on my LE but this trunk was replaced by the PO. I have a 4mm, 6mm, and 10mm punch set. So, it'll probably be 8mm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
 Thanks. |

I just walked out into the garage and took this:
 Funny.. I work with LOTS of metric stuff all the time, but all of my tape measures are in inches. It is about 3.8 of an inch, which is 9.5 mm. But it was an eyeball and tape measure thing, so I figure 10 mm is right. |

Your chassis number appears to be located in the middle - not to the pass. side by the sway bar reinforcement tab. Interesting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Can anyone else post pictures of their trunk numbers. My chassis number is 7 digits. Are all 7 stamped? |
