Thread: Cannot find chassis number

Have a look on the LH rear spring hanger.

You might need a wire brush and a bit of spit.

Position of the number varied on Series 1 (and later) according to where it was built.

Places to look are on the LH rear spring hanger, RH front dumb iron, and either right or left engine mount brackets (on top), and quite possibly in other places. It is possible that the number you have found is an incomplete chassis number.

If the chassis is either rusty or has multiple layers of paint, the number is likely to be very hard to see, and may need wire brushing to bare metal, and possibly etching with acid. But, of course, before you can do this you have to find it.

Do you have any documentation with the number on it?

I deleted my post as everything had been covered, here's wishing you success in finding it, cheers Dennis

Thanks for your answers guys,
I have had another search around the chassis today with a wire brush and still no sign of it. There are no other numbers near the "8654" on the LH front spring hanger.
I got the landy from a family friend who only drove it a few times leaving it in his paddock for 15 years and doesn't know much about it, Ill have to try contact the previous owner before him, see if he still has any details on it.

I assume it would be difficult to rego with no chassis number haha, someone recommended that i could steal the number off a wrecked landy? has anyone done this?
Cheers.

Mine is on the passenger dumb iron just behind the bumper... needed paint stripper to find it
