Title: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on October 30, 2015, 01:48:32 PM: Hi everyone,

After a lot of work, we are finally able to reproduce pretty much all of the 2 A aluminium photo etched placards.

The originals on most peoples vehicles are starting to show the signs of 60 years or so of hard life, or are missing entirely!

This includes,

Nomenclature plates, Service Data plates, Fuse box, Winch PTO, Tyre life, vehicle repair/ into service plates, engine Tappet clearance, and the big Front Wheel Drive one above the instrument panel.

As per this photo:

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_6.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_6.jpg.html)

These are the originals, the repro ones will of course be new!

As far as the Nomenclature and Servicing Data plates go, could anyone who is interested in these please let me know their vehicle type, and if possible provide a photo of the old plates (if you have them).

So far we are producing these for the 88 1/4 ton GS and the 109 3/4 ton GS, but we can make them for any vehicle variant so long as we know what the original plate looks like.

For the Chassis number and dates for the Nomenclature and repair plates, I will look into getting hold of a set of punches, and would be happy to stamp them up with the correct info if required.

We are also reproducing the Recommended Lubricants adhesive label that was fixed to the gearbox tunnel on the early 2 and 2A vehicles.

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg2_5.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg2_5.jpg.html)

This label also appeared on the civilian vehicles of the same period, perhaps installed by PMC?

Don't worry Rod, we are finally also making the RADIO placard for the FFTs.

We are still finalising the prices, more info soon on that.

If we could have expressions of interest and any photos of required Nomenclature / Service data plates, either to this thread or email to milspeclabels@gmail.com

I will update this soon with some prices,

Cheers,

Mike.

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on October 30, 2015, 09:33:23 PM: No problem Mick,

We should be able to knock some of those up.

I'll send you a pm.

Thanks Howard, I know you were chasing some of these.

I'll update this soon with some prices.

Cheers,

Mike.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on November 05, 2015, 04:44:10 PM: Okay.

I've just been talking to the printer, and I have worked out some prices.

Once again, I started this project mainly due to the fact that I need some of these, and it just grew from there. I have been asked for a few of these by a few people, so hopefully these will come in useful for everyone else s restorations.

These placards will be photo etched aluminium, in the correct colours and to the same dimensions as the originals including the correctly placed holes for the fasteners.

There may be a minor variance in the thickness of the alloy plate, but apart from that they should be the same as the ones that came with the vehicles.

We are using the same professional printer that produced the first lot of switch labels, so the quality will be the same as the originals from the 60s.

The Nomenclature and Service data plates are very specific for the type of vehicle.

If you want any of these, let me know the census number and vehicle type, and if you can, send me a photo of the one that you need, and we should be able to make them up.

So, here is a list of what we will be able to make.

1. Nomenclature plates $25.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg4_1.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg4_1.jpg.html)

2. Servicing Data plates $ 25.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_3.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_3.jpg.html)

3. Front Wheel Drive placard $25.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_7.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_7.jpg.html)

To be continued,

Post by: mike_k on November 05, 2015, 04:46:46 PM: It looks like I can only post three photos at a time, heres the next 3....

4. Plate Recording Vehicle Repair $ 10.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg3_1.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg3_1.jpg.html)

5. Blackout placard $ 6.00

6. Fuse box Placard $ 12.00

Post by: mike_k on November 05, 2015, 04:48:27 PM: And the next ones,

7. Tyre Life Placard $10.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg2_1_1.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg2_1_1.jpg.html)

8. Tappet Clearance (Rocker cover) $12.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_1_1.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg1_1_1.jpg.html)

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards

And we will produce some reproductions of these aluminium foil labels,

10. Recommended lubricants label $12.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg6_1.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpg6_1.jpg.html)

This was fitted to the Series 2 CRs and the 2As up to at least 1964. (and maybe later). I know that it did not appear on my 70 GS.

11. And the RADIO label fitted next to the Ammeter on the FFTs. $ 6.00

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/0297-16a.jpg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/0297-16a.jpg.html)

All of the photos are for reference only, they are of the originals, and have marks / damage / fading etc. The repro ones will be new.We are taking a lot of care to get these exactly right.

All of the prices include GST.

Postage will be extra, We will do registered mail as we did with the switch labels, although the packages will be a bit bigger!

If you could let me know what you need, I'll put the order in.

Send me a pm, or email to milspeclabels@gmail.com

At this stage, I'll close this expression of interest on Sunday November 15.

Apologies for the multiple posts, I couldn't work out a way to p[ost more than 3 photos at once.

Cheers,

Mike.

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: AGAS 5 on November 05, 2015, 09:54:19 PM: Yep, that be it :)

I'll need it for ' 88" SERIES IIA ' though.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on November 05, 2015, 10:01:46 PM: No worries Pete,

I've just spoken to the Art department (my Daughter), and that should be fine.

I have a missing one as well, on someones wall somewhere I guess.

Land -Rover 88" Series IIA. No worries.

Incidentally, I will try and get hold of a set of 5/32 Number and letter stamps, so the vehicle details can be stamped on if required.

Mike.

If anyone else is after any of these placards, please let me know.

At this stage, I'm waiting to get the proofs back from the printers, so I'm happy to keep the orders open at this stage.

It looks like we will be able to reproduce the Bamford winch ID plate as well, due to popular demand!

Thanks to everyone who has already ordered,

Cheers,

Mike..

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on December 19, 2015, 09:31:03 PM: A quick update on the placards,

We have been going back and forth with the printers, correcting the proofs of all of the placards to ensure that they are exactly right.

The final proofs should be ready this week, and we will get them printed off when the printers get back from their Christmas break in mid January.

So, the light is there at the end of the tunnel, we are almost there!

Thanks everyone for your patience, with the sheer number of placards we are re-making, this has been a fairly major project.

Hopefully the next time I update this it will be early in 2016, and they will be ready to send out. :D
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 12, 2016, 02:44:53 PM: Got a parcel in today's post.

Finally. ;D

Well worth it though, we are very happy with them.

Here are some of the general ones,

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpeg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image.jpeg.html)

Nomenclature plates,

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image_1.jpeg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image_1.jpeg.html)

And the Servicing Data plates,

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk135/pinegrove_photo/Milspec%20Labels/image_4.jpeg) (http://s279.photobucket.com/user/pinegrove_photo/media/Milspec%20Labels/image_4.jpeg.html)

I'm so used to seeing the old faded damaged ones, that these ones look a bit strange!

I will send everyone who has ordered some of these a pm with the bank account details etc, and get them sent out.

I will also be able to bring them up to Corowa if that suits anyone.

I realise that this has taken a long time, but we were very particular about getting these as correct as possible. We had a lot of corrections etc. to sort out until we were finally happy with the proofs from the printer.

Due to the fact that these were made by draughtsmen drawing them up in the 60s, no two placards are ever the same. The servicing data plates are a good example, they seemed to change slightly with each contract!

I do have some spares, if anyone else is after any, please let me know.

Mike.

Mick, you are a special case (!) I will contact you tomorrow!

Regards, Daryl
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 13, 2016, 08:22:01 AM: Sure Daryl, that should not be a problem.

We just need a readable one to work from.

I will be at Corowa this year, if yours is readable we can go from there.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards

Post by: mike_k on February 13, 2016, 08:40:21 PM: They look great Firey,

As someone who has just gone through this, I really appreciate the amount of work you put into them.

Did you produce these for a particular project?
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: firey on February 14, 2016, 09:56:53 AM: These were done as people required them and for my projects.
I still have plenty of C - G plates left and a few different ones. I had 50 trailer plates made and they went like hot cakes.........

Post by: Magellan on February 14, 2016, 09:32:41 PM: BTW mike_k, do you need a scaled example of the plate to reproduce it (sorry mick that had 3 syllables ;)) or is the photo here of firey's okay?

Daryl
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 15, 2016, 05:16:39 AM: Daryl,

A good photo will do, and the exact dimensions.
Most of the ones we made up were measured up from an original.
The hole spacing is critical, so that it fits!
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: Magellan on February 15, 2016, 08:35:59 AM: Aye, I'll get 'em for you.

Just a thought, is it possible to get the domed head rivets to affix the plate?

Post by: John H on February 19, 2016, 08:48:44 PM: Thanks again for your efforts Mike.Payment made today and PM sent(hopefully).Because you have done such a wonderfull job with these,I am wondering if you had/or can get the following(as my existing will look very second hand) 1.Wiper 2.Side headlight 3.Panel light 4.Blackout 5.Choke 6.Winch PTO 7.Lubricants 8.Tappet clearance 9.? and if there is enough interest I would also take a couple of trailer placards.Cheeky I know.Cheers Hallsy.

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 20, 2016, 09:39:09 AM: No worries John,
Consider it done. I'll send you a pm.

Hot Rover, your FFT looks great, especially with all of those new placards 8)

Some rumours are circulating that it is finished? (Although they never really are)...

And a credit must go to you for the artwork of the winch plate as well, a very professional job.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 20, 2016, 01:46:22 PM: Sorry everyone, I missed a couple of posts there while I was away with work.

Carzee, I'm really glad it didn't get bent, a bit of a worry that.
It took ages to get them as close as we could, lots of proofs back and forth with the printer.

If I can get a good one to copy, we will definitely make up some No5 trailer plates.

John, I have not made any switch labels, ( wiper, side head etc.) but I have got some from eBay UK in the past.
Have a look under Land Rover series switch or something like that and they should come up - the ones I bought were thin aluminium with very finely cut letters. They don't look too bad, compared to the old worn out plastic ones.

I do have spares of all of the placards at the start of this post, so I will send you another pm John with the right info!

I plan to bring the spare ones up to Corowa, if anyone else wants any, let me know.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: John H on February 22, 2016, 06:32:10 PM: Thanks Mike,PM recieved and money sent.I found a site on EBAY re the switch labels etc.When I get out of hospital/recovery I will look at a group buy for those who are chasing these.Cheers Hallsy.
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 22, 2016, 07:21:33 PM: No worries John,

Your placards are in today's post.

The repro switch labels are not too bad, I didn't really think of trying to reproduce these as they were originally plastic with fairly coarse lettering.
The photo etch process works really well with the placards, but I have my doubts about getting the plastic switch labels exactly right.

There were a couple of sellers of these on eBay UK, but now there only seems to be one.

Shame you cant gewt the genuine ones any more. :'(
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: kman on February 22, 2016, 08:17:22 PM: Mine arrived today thanks. Once again you guys have done a great job!

Just one question: where do I attach the label about oils?

Howard
Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on February 22, 2016, 08:36:28 PM: Glad they got there in one piece Howard.

Thanks very much, I will pass your feedback on to the art department!

The Recommended oil placard was usually on the transmission tunnel, drivers side, aft of and in line with the yellow selector plate that bolts to the transmission tunnel.

Sort of next to your left boot when you are in the drivers seat.

That sounds as clear as mud. ::)

Here's a photo of a 1963 SWB.

Hopefully clearer!

Gee I need to get onto restoring that, it looks terrible....

Title: Re: Reproduction Series 2 A Placards
Post by: mike_k on March 03, 2016, 10:08:35 AM: Thanks Stephen, I'm really glad that you are happy with them.

As it happens, I have not heard from 4 of the people who originally ordered these, after a couple of pm's.

Not sure what is going on there, but there were some big orders (!)

I also had some extras made up, so if anyone does want any, I have spares of all of them.

Let me know via pm, or contact me at milspeclabels@gmail.com

Cheers,

Mike.

Post by: mike_k on March 03, 2016, 11:01:39 AM: Thanks Geoff,

I will be at Corowa on Friday afternoon, with all of the spare placards.

Looking forward to putting some faces to some names!

Glad you are happy with them.

Welcome home from Hospital, must be good to be out of there.

Not long until you are back driving the Rovers again!

Yes, that is the plan.

I will hopefully get a good sample at Corowa and make some up after that.

It looks like there is a demand for the MOD record plate as well.

Glad you like them.
I like your idea of adding a new repair plate to finish off your restoration.
Great to meet you too, I'm looking forward to seeing your 88 up and running soon!
