RV, how do you determine the number to use if your plate is missing?

Cheers, Bill

I find a car with a verifiably original engine that has a similar engine casting date, note its radiator number, and stamp the plate with a number that is a bit higher or lower, depending on where the date falls in relation to the engine number of the car whose plate I'm stamping.

The dull orange appearance of the brass is from the protective film.

Here is an example for you. My '13 has a radiator number 231500. The engine number is 212526. They must have sold a lot of radiators for that number to get so far ahead of the engine numbers!
