Anyone know of a used source for these, I'm trying to make up my Canadian plate with the Ace Cornercroft letters, I need the "5" and "8". I contacted Tony Handler and The Luxury Junkyard and I still need the 5 and 8. I was hoping that someone here may know of another wrecker. Or if someone here has what I need in descent condition, I will pay $100.00 each. I think Jaguar used them as well, but I'll start here first. I don't think one could change them around like on our cars either. Thanks ! | ||

Jeff, Found this reference on a car and classic website sale listing to a company using the Cornercroft dies they purchased when the Company ceased trading: Website: www.acepeakplates.com Email: info@acepeakplates.com Landline: 00353 1 4523206. Mobile: 00353 834513460. I presume the phone numbers are domestic UK - the website is still live. | ||

Thanks David, I came across that too on a Jaguar forum, I haven't checked for sure, but I think all they do is solid cast aluminum letters, no translucent illuminated ones. | ||

Jeff, Have a look at the TVR Back-lit plates on the website below: https://www.fancyplates.com/Range-Of-Numberplates/ https://www.fancyplates.com/main/constructors/information/tvr_backlit.aspx | ||

Yes, I have come across that, a local sign place very near me could do the same thing by making a reverse cut out with black vinyl, and then applied on white translucent piece of plastic. I would have to do my my own lettering, but I'm capable of that. I was hoping for some luck by posting here that someone may know of a source for the original ones that I need, how difficult can it be to find a 5 and 8 ? Maybe more so then a I thought. | ||

Acepeakplates is based in Eire. The phone numbers are Republic of Ireland numbers not UK ones. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||
