If you get a factory-built car, they provide a small plaque to go on the pedal box to highlight the staff who put the car together.
I thought it would be nice to do the same to record my efforts (see also David White’s blog). Fortunately, I have a daughter who is a professional designer so she made the sign up for me digitally and I then got the graphic printed onto an aluminum plaque. I did look to get it engraved but the trophy shops I spoke to didn’t seem all that keen.
In the end it cost me £35 to get the plaque made up (including postage). I just sent in the artwork online and a week later, the plaque arrived. I have stuck it on with adhesive pads.
The plaque is meant to be suitable for outdoor use so hopefully will last a reasonable time under the bonnet.
I am happy to share the artwork if anyone wants to use it as the basis of their own plaque.
