hi Guys, just wondering if the number stamping on the radiator support for the 1969 Mini Cooper S has the same size font and style from the first to last number? ie is the YG2S4 the same size as the 5??? number stamped after? thanks in advance |

From memory they are usually two different sizes, depths and fonts. |

Thanks. I think that was the case for the first 6 months or so. I have seen a couple with Mk1 Body Plates but they have all looked too clean to be original. Probably the owners wanting to have a plate on there for looks. |

With my GT I know it is YG2S8 looks like a set stamp evenly spaced etc, and then the numbers afterwoods are in a different size and look hand stamped |
