Villiers ID/instruction plate.

Does anyone know of a supplier of blank ID/instruction plates for the early MK20 engine with the 2-piece fabricated cowling? It's the large plate, I've tried 'Villiersparts' but they only do the smaller later plate.

I hope someone comes up with a source, I have a Mk.20 with the wrong smaller plate on too.

What is size is your plate? I have the wrong one that 'villiersparts' supplied, it may fit your engine.

The one I need is narrower but longer, there is no recess in the cowl.

You could try here:

Though, to be honest, I've tried twice and never got a reply. Maybe you will have better luck.

The one currently fitted is 115mm wide by 100mm high, looks like I need about 125mm wide to fit the recess.

While measuring the plate I found another new one "in stock" and it measures 112mm wide by 87mm high, how many different sizes are there?

The plate on my 25HS measures 5 in by 4 inches.

Matt,

How about finding one you could photograph, print onto water slide transfer paper and make an aluminium plate that the transfer can be attached to.

If I could find a good one to photograph I could probably get one made by the company in the link above. A job for the future methinks.

Robotstar5 - the new one I have is 127mm X 102mm, the hole centres are 117mm X 92mm, it is the right one for the MK25 in my picture. It cost me £11, I'm happy to pass it on to you for the same rather than send it back.

@mattblack I'll measure my Mk.20 hole centres at the weekend and get back to you
