Title: Help me find chassis number! Post by: ekute on December 13, 2007, 10:25:40 PM I gather this has been asked before but where am I likely to find the chassis number on my FE?
The rest of the numbers are FE 225 1222S Trim 157 469 AO Paint 253 7471 Engine starts with a B so it ain't original. Regards Mark Title: Re: Help me find chassis number!

Title: Re: Help me find chassis number! Post by: Johns on December 14, 2007, 08:18:12 AM Not on early FEs Jamie, particularly Sydney ones. On these, as FC 427 says, it's on the skirt directly above the battery , sometimes right on the bend itself. the stamping is small and rough on the early cars, often really difficult to read.

Title: Re: Help me find chassis number! Post by: ratbox on December 20, 2007, 01:15:36 PM i went through this a while back, they're a pain in the arse to find on FE's mine was on the left side up near the bonnet hinge
at the time i was told could be anywhere on the left inner guard and usually very small and hard to read but you've found yors now so this may help someone else somewhere down the track |
