Re: [Chrysler300] stamping reproduction generator ID tags

[Gary Nelson <Gary@xxxx>]

Hi John and all

I had several done by Timo for various starters and generators and 
distributors. He sells the tags and stamps them. I am sure you got your 
tags from Goers, he gets them from Timo.
The problem is I have not been able to get a reply from Timo. Don't know if 
he is in the us anymore? I can stamp them w/ std. no. & letter set. Would 
look good, but not exact match to orig.no. style.
I will likely do them in the future, but will not commit like I did on the 
hub cap masks. Not until I can do it.
I would have a number and letter set engraved to replicate the original. 
Something I observed in 57 I found two different styles used.
Likely different vendors.
Just for every ones edification. You can salvage the drive rivets that hold 
the tags to the housings. You don't want to take pliers to them. The 
generator must be completely disassembled, including fields. The hole the 
rivet goes into is drilled through the housing.
Then take a piece of hardened wire or drill bit and drive them out from the 
inside. The hole is only about .O40 to .050. Then I have them cad plated. 
The short cut is to wire brush then and spray w/ Kryon dull aluminum. 
That's very close to cad look. Tap them back in w/ a piece of plastic so 
they don't get damaged.

Hope that's not to much info.
