Tire wear warning plate

[Paul and Judson]

I remember seeing someone on the forum that had made a reproduction of this warning plate. I need one. Any suggestions on where I could get a reproduction or an original in good and unfaded condition ?

Is this the one that talks about excessive wear if you use 4 wheel drive on the road for an extended time? The one on my truck is in good shape. If you decide to have one made I would be glad to take mine off and mail it to you as a template. I would expect it to be returned in a timely manner.

Do you have a scanner? If you could scan it at 600 dpi, and email it to me with precise measurements, I could get a price on having them printed up. I could make several for anyone interested.

My buddy has a scanner. I'm not a cumpter guy so I would have to figure out what 600dpi is. On second thought another buddy owns a nice print/graphics shop in town. I'm sure he could scan it in 600dpi. I could also ask if he could make them. He's got some high dollar Eq.

Well if he can't, I do business with a print shop on a regular basis, and they can print to aluminum plates that would be a reasonable facsimile of the original. 600 dpi is 600 dots per inch, it's a resolution setting for the scanner.

[Paul and Judson]

Yes, it is the red plate that talks about excessive tire wear. I do not have a scanner or a good example of the plate as mine is a bit faded. So I would be interested in buying one if a good reproduction can be made.

I'm trying to get a hi res scan of this one:

When I do, I'll get a quote for the cost of having one printed on aluminum plate for you.

This guy sells repoduction ones that don't say "The Rover Motor Company...." If you can live with that.

I was able to throw myself on the mercy of the Rover community and got a very very nice original one from Neil H. Maybe you could do the same.

One of my friends over on the Series 2 club gave me this link, it should save a bit of fooling around.

Thanks to all for the good help and advise

I have a much smaller ( 0.875" x 3.875") one that I've just scanned....not in great condition. I can e-mail the .pdf to you if it will help. It came loose in my SII truck and I don't know where it goes.

Ike might have some of those plates. http://www.pangolin4x4.com/

This is the plate from (I think) my SII SWB Stationwagon.8515Tom Smith

[Partsman]

Ok, so this is what I've got:

8519

I can clean this up and send it to a printshop and have it printed on .040 aluminum, or you can do that on your end, either would work.

[Paul and Judson]

I am interested. Any one else? What would the plate cost?

[Partsman]

I'll have to get some prices, give me a couple days.

[Partsman]

OK, the best price I could find for a 4x4 screen printed sign on 0.040" aluminum is $18.00 each. If anyone wants one let me know, and we can get it moving, not a terrible price, but not bad for basically a one time job either.

[Paul and Judson]

I will take one. Let me know how about how I should pay.

[Partsman]

Let's just get a list going over the next week or so, at the end I'll set up the payment options, and we can get them done for everyone

[JimCT]

if you already know that driving in 4wd on pavement wears your tires why would you need a plaque to tell you that?

In case you lend it to your wife?

Mark, I couldn't have said it better myself :D

Hmmmm.... I still have one of these plates on my Series III. But it seems that it is rather useless for me, as I have basically an early Range Rover drivetrain and full time 4 wheel drive. I wonder, if the caution isn't still valid, should I just leave it there to confuse my wife?
