So the interior of the newly acquired 74 LE has been ravaged by racoons for over 15+ years. The A pillar vin tag is destroyed, is there any place that can reproduce it? I can prove the vin is correct via the stamped passenger inner fender and the title.
If not any ideas on how to reproduce one? I'm just thinking ahead as when I really dig into the restoration of this 914 I would like the A pillar tag to be as nice as the 914 will be (I hope) someday. I know of reproductions of door jamb stickers and I believe the headlight bucket tag, but have not seen A pillar ones. |

If it can't be done to look factory then I will just try to figure out how to salvage the mangled tag.

Wow- that is a nice reproduction of the VIN plate for the A-pillar. It would be my sincere hope they are as cautious as SoCalAndy was when he was making the compliance stickers. I think requiring a scan of the Title and photos of the other ID numbers should be required. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Car-bone in Poland reproduces the “A” pillar tags for Porsches.

I think Car Bone only makes the -6 style, with the letters punched in...
 as opposed to embossed like the -4s have.  Would love to find a resource for these.... |

The OE 6 pic provided by Cuddy K shows correct '4's
they are different see below Garold sorry for extending the hijack. Odd that the 4 cyl. tag is more complex and diffficult to duplicate than the 6 item. no clue on source. Attached thumbnail(s)
