Well, its known that good things take good time.... FINALLY my famous winch CAUTION, DO NOT.... plates did arrive! (sent on their way 08/23 and received 10/03 - talk about snail-mail...!:mad:) Pic 1 shows the plate as it came, holes drilled- (NOT punched out...!)- and just pop-riveted in...

I've always seen them with STAMPED characters... never "engraved" :? G.

Nice! I suspect you can only do one color (+ aluminum/silver) at a time...? Guess you still want to see originals, scanned, for more details!? All those you made are to be drilled and fixed via screws or rivets, exclusively, so for me at least I would like to see them framed WITH the quarter...

Ahh... well, your truck certainly deserved it...!:) (Although, according to USPS's tracking it's still somewhere, in transit....) G.

... wish I had - still waiting for that! Our mail has been terribly slow, lately: I'm still expecting a quart of DOT5, purchased 07/05/12 !!!:-x G.

Update (again): I have 5 of the winch brake dataplates coming my way...! (via snail-mail which hopefully won't take forever...) I will try them out and post results and pic once there is at least one installed. For anyone not wanting to wait that long I'd suggest contacting this company...

Sorry, my internet connection is so slow today..... UPDATE! to my previous post... Greg (dataplatesnet) has managed to convert my files (!) and this round it came out - I would say ... "perfect" enough! :-D (see below, after superposing both....) BIG IMPROVEMENT so far, and.... it can only...

Welcome to Steelsoldiers, dataplatesnet - Greg! Good that you posted this, as I was thinking what to write here or not, to explain the actual situation (and your limitations)... To all: hopefully every company I had ever to deal with would be so quick to respond to emails...! And willing to...

:) uhmm, ehrrr.... what about the brand, Nartron vs. Natron....?? Don't know, maybe it's done on purpose and not just a typo....? No biggie, really. Yes, some do; depending on quality, origin, etc. Here is some interesting reading about how some of the typical products are tested and...

OK, this is what I have in mind...: #0.020 aluminum plate; silver letters & frame, over black ground; W/ rounded corners and holes; more or less matching the different versions out there, in size and style of letters. Take a look, below..... if any of you wanted anything changed, please speak...

OK, sounds promising! Actually I was waiting for anything in reply to that email sent...(? )(broadsword71, post #13) I'm going ahead then and copy/re-design/scan that particular winch DP (with holes, etc.) and contact them. And before ordering I will let everyone know; thinking of eventually...

:ditto: We need a NEW source! Although his site is still up, I think DK has completely abandoned the dataplate business since almost 1 year ago. G.

Good Q.! A: Depending on what generation - probably not like that old gasser-M35 shift plate...!? Time will tell...........:razz: Now, if we are talking about this particular winch-DP, usually not even the ones from factory last long... after close contact with wire rope; hook & chain...

Thanks for the heads-up, Torisco! That's exactly the one winch dataplate I had been looking for! Pictured below is just another version of the same. I like that black/ aluminum one; only thing I would add (only to make it look more original) are those two arrows. Also, for better looks and...
