I'm restoring a Blumels number plate; it got too close to a heater and distorted some of the digits and made all the others very brittle.

I want to restore it as it has the original dealers mark.

I have obtained all the digits except a "6" & "E". Any idea where I might get either new or very clean digits.
I have spoken to the plate suppliers like Framptons, who do supply new raised white digits, however the typeface is different from the original Bluemels.

Thanks

Dave

They look like the correct typeface Smile I'll give them a call.

Thanks

Thank you for your link Riley541
I've managed to lose a "3" and a "C".
