Shouldn't those letters be the other way around ... ?

(just kidding!)

I presume you pressed the original flat in the centre panel and then used a new die to press the new letters. Looks a neat job. The only danger is if the metal gets too stretched at some point that coincidentally is on a letter edge in both words, but the easiest way to find out is to try it. Looks good!

hi cdb15
nearly guessed correctly, but not quite,
it was stretched originally with a die press from factory ,
and in fact the reliant pressing has been shrunk back to is original state,
and no its not repressed in with the bond logo, i did it another way, but thanks anyway

Well if the RELIANT has been 'squashed flat' as it were, and you didn't then stretch out the BOND letters, and if you haven't added a second thickness to the central panel pre-pressed with BOND as per rogeru7, then either you've added individual letters B, O, N and D to the now flat central panel, or you've cut out the central panel and welded in a complete new panel piece, pre-pressed with BOND.....

OR....

it's a hologram, and the entire cover is in fact not really there...

OK, go on, then, I give up!

rogeru7: Hi the basic lock is off a Triumph but it will then need a major mod to be used on the Bug canopy unless you have access to a lathe and a mill it’s not an easy mod Jan 18, 2021 20:15:56 GMT

mysticmick: hi all . i recently purchased a bug . my dream car for restoration . i have the vin plate . with chassis number and engine number . but sadly no reg number . is there any way of finding out the original reg so i could apply for the v5 .. thanks in advance May 8, 2021 16:20:42 GMT

cdb15: To Mystic Mick: contact HPI and ask if they will do a VIN-only check. Usually if you have the registration it's £19 or so, but may be different from the VIN. Or there is a DVLA procedure using form V62 - check out the government web site for the procedure. May 17, 2021 20:15:30 GMT
