    Help - Correct paint Plate Code

    I am having a new paint plate made for my Bahia Red '70E. I want to have the correct numbers stamped on the plate. The original plate was lost during the restoration of the chassis but I do have a photo. Unfortunately, the stamping is not legible.

    The paint code for Bahia Red is 1313

    So I believe the first row on the plate should be stamped 1313-9-2. Where 1313 is the paint code, 9 is for a Ruetter produced chassis and 2 is for Glasurit. The second row should be blank.

    Can anyone confirm this or set me straight?

    Further research leads me to think that the paint code markings should only be 3 digits. What should these be for Bahia Red? My COA has "13" for Bahia Red. My factory build sheet says it should be "1313".

    Found this for an original 1970T Karman bodied car. Looks like 1313.

    Reading through this thread:

    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...highlight=8080

    It seems to me the markings should read "1313-?". 1313 is the 4 digit paint code but what is the letter after the hyphen?

    Zeroing in on this I think. Can anyone comment on what the letter after the hyphen signifies?
