I have recently purchase a new ID plate for my J2 ( number 9996). Should the number be stamped or engraved, should it be displayed with a prefix letter and what font type was used? Also, advice on fix position would be appreciated.

The Carbodies body ID plate for the J2 orginally had the numbers stamped on it. If you E mail me on tholden@supanet.com I will scan in the one on my desk and send to you by reply so you can see the style of the numbers. It was fixed to the vertical panel behind the drivers seat by 4 small RH screws.

On the subject of car bodies (I no longer have a plate for my PB as the cross piece was replace by me as a boy) whilst scratching about my probably original tub on the bulkhead there is a number stamped on the wood 2801 is the number .... is this supposed to match the carbody number ?

The original body and firewall In my PA had the same stampings and maker's plate positions as in your pictures.

I don't think P types generally had a Carbodies plate mounted within the body. Certainly mine did not have one, though I have seen drawings which suggest that in some cars perhaps a plate may have been fitted on the vertical ply panel behind the driver's seat.

I think there are probably differences between the J and P in this respect.

Also, the makers plates as shown in your picture are of course different items compared with the Carbodies plates.

having hunted out my body plate it matches ! I must say that I do ont remember a plate on the vertical ply when i first looked at it in 1965 .... I did keep the other plates eg handbake adjustment so probably as suggested there was none.
