Anyone have an STC plate available?

[TR4nut]

I'm in the hunt for one of those weird STC plates - an STC 60 plate to be exact. My other 59 3A project was brought into the West coast and apparently sold as a 1960 model with 1960 title and a set of holes in the bulkhead with the plate looks to have been added but is now missing.

If anyone has one in their boxes of spare bits, please pm me and we can work a deal.

I'm probably missing the obvious...whats STC?

A plate affixed to indicate a date relative to the sale of the vehicle -- some think it stood for 'Sold to Customer' others (me) think it was 'Standard Triumph Co'.

This is from my TR4:

Do not know if the TR3A version is similar.

Possibly only on TRs that came in on the west coast (the above example was sold new in Hawaii but distributed thru Cal Sales in L.A.).

My TR3A has an Orange STC plate. I know that my previous TR3A did not have this plate. They were built within 2000 of each other.

My 66 TR4A has a red plate (STC-66 on it). It was originally sold in Fresno, so probably came through Cal Sales/Los Angeles. The original California registration had "66" prepended to the commission number.

My 81 TR8 was originally sold in Long Beach (Boulevard British-Saab), and doesn't have an STC plate (though I've never heard of any Wedges that had them, it does have a proper VIN).

Here's a pic I borrowed from the Triumph Experience forum:

This is a 1960 STC plate, possibly all that year were orange? The holes in my bulkhead are in very similar locations.

No big deal if I can't find a plate, just one of those nice to have things.

That is exactly what mine looks like. If you have to remove the vin tag, where did you get rivets to replace those?
