Likely the mounting. VW and Benz have mounting "bobbins" of rubber with threaded studs on each end wot work a treat for isolating the vibration noise. They're metric tho, so get nuts for 'em too.

No problem, you should be able to quickly demonstrate that your car can break down and rust with the best of the Italians

Look on the right frame rail behind the shock & before the firewall - might be on top, side or bottom...might not be there at all.

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

i havent seen at all but ill look again
thanks
steve

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

nope two holes with paint from the previous paint job. but that would be another vin plate
they are looking for something etched or stamped into the frames metal

 

[tony barnhill]

Yep - on some MG's it was stamped into the frame rail....I've usually found it under the paint, etc. on the side of the rail.

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

nope just checked a third time
on the diagonal frame rail before the shock just two holes for mounting a plate
but thats it

Looking in Sprite and Midget Restorers Guide by Terry Horler on page 110 under the heading of Identification , dating and production they state "for HOME MARKET production, the chassis number was also STAMPED into the drivers side front footwell just in front of the jacking point crossmember. Not sure if this what they are looking for or not. This was taken out of a paragraph relating to the 72 73 Midgets. Don
