chassis number?

Post by **Louey** » 21 Oct 2008, 17:37

Where are they on a T25 - got a friend in Spain trying to find BOTH, something to do with registering it.

A photo would help so i can email it her - apparently one is on the A pillar, I know that one) but where is the other??

Thanks

Ta Louey, huge kiss. I was on a petrol station forecourt clambering under my van in a skirt trying unsucessfuly to find it.

The rear engine confused the assesor for starters!

My van was registered in 1985 and built in 1984, I can find the Vin plate but I need to locate the chassi number thats stamped on metal. If I can't find it I will be automatically turned away from the MOT station. The only hint I have is that its not in the engine bay (which was hot while I looked)

Pictures would be good pretty please as would a diagram.

Many Thanks

Get down by the front right hand jacking point.. on the rear of the "outrigger" that comes from the main chassis section, its stamped on there... might need a clean with a wire brush and or white spirit to reveal.. should be the same as on the chassis plate in the door frame....

just behind the drivers door (the b pillar) is the jacking point LG.

underneath the van is a bit of thick metal that goes 90 degrees from the front to back of the van to the jacking point - this is the cross member
this image shows the chassis rail from front to back - the piece of metal that goes from the rail to the vw mud flap is a chassis outrigger(the one shown is the nearside)

I thought it was on the right hand side... but could be wrong its been ages (3 years) since I looked at it... could be on the left..... look and see...
