Westy tag information

[*Sam*]

Hello all,
I have a set of blank tags that I purchased recently, I don't have the original tags from my bus would like to have the new ones stamped with the correct information.

Can anyone tell me what the number on the are in reframe to.

Ie: chassis, build date etc.

Cheers
Sam

The furniture tags, or the wheel arch ones?

Good point clem, the wheel arch ones please.

OK. I dont have them on mine as its a Washington State bus. Not every state had them, California did and I think Oregan too.

I'll check my mates tonight, who has them and confirm the info.

Mine has two, one says something about the Department of Housing, California? I'll take a pic later.

Thats the plate that allowed it as a habitable vehicle. *This dictated some of the interior restrictions, such as no fitted gas cooker and the drainage venting system fitted to 71 onward vans.

Geek! :lol:
You learn something new about these busses every day. I don't think I've even read my plate properly yet.

Cheers guys, Mike as always you are a wealth of knowledge.
My birth certificate lists Grand Rapids Michigan as its initial destination, dose this mean that my bus wasn't ever fitted with these tags ?

Cheers
