Default Re: Tag, Vin Deck ?, do these stampings look ok?

OK, Using the 2's since both the suffix and vin have that number, from the top of the loop of the 2, to the straight edge at the bottom of the 2:

Suffix Code 2: 6 millimeters
VIN 2: 4 millimeters

Thanks,
Rich

Regardless of how good of a job someone's done on their choice of fonts, sizes etc, the swirls are enough to know it's been altered. .

This one also fails the 'blind man test' where sometimes it's best to close your eyes, pay no attention to what you see and feel the pad. . Besides the belly jobs, often altered pads have lost their edge sharpness as creative operators of portable machines often whiz a bevel into the edge...like this one has! .

Gotta' say I'm surely not into your firewalling game!!! .

Also, why are you so concerned things are so correct when it's all going to be hooked to a repop body anyway...to get back at the guy who sold you firewall and bad stamp stuff? .
