On the Heritage certificate they have both / and - on the chassis number.  I'm assumignt hat the / means a space.

The engine number just has a 5 digit number, nothing else. 

 

I think that I figured it out now after looking at some books.  It has spaces and dashes and no slashes.

Use the format that's on the heritage mcertificate.

Fellow Minioids,   As I mentioned last week, I'm restoring a 1968 Morris Cooper S.  The engine plate is gone.  I have a new one.  Accoridng to offical sources the number for my car should be 9F/Sa/Y followed by a 5 digit engine number which I have on the British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate. 

Question:  Some of the early cars had a dash - between letters and numbers.  Later cars had a  forward slash /.  Which do I want?

9F-Sa-Y-00000

 

or

 

9F/Sa/Y/00000

 

Also, is the "a" small or large case????
