Thanks for the feed back Ralph. Really happy your pleased with it.

And thanks for the kind donation.

Now I need to fit my nice new tag.

I have the correct hammer drive rivets but they look a little fiddly.

Anyone have any hot tips or tricks to help installation?

Thanks.

Yep, glue the rivets in, and use double sided tape on the tag!!

Hi Mike

That’s yours completed. Hope it’s to your satisfaction.

Cheating!
I used blu-tack to hold the rivet onto the end of an old 3/8 drive Allen key, then lined it up (carefully) and bashed the socket end of said key. A more sophisticated version would probably use a flat-tipped punch, but I didn't have one of those to hand.
Anyway easier than bashing the rivet direct - space to swing a hammer is rather restricted in the door post area even with the door fully open.

I've just realised that a small concave nail punch would do the trick - may even hold the drive rivet with a little of Richard's Blu tack.

Received mine today. Thanks John

That looks just great John. Many thanks. Donation already made. Appreciate your help on this.

Well think that’s all the tags stamped and sent.

Thanks so much for all the kind donations. I think that’s around £200 donated. Hopefully a great result for everyone
