A bloke on fbek forum does hydro blasting I think it's the same, he's going to do a manifold and rocker cover ( grey motor) for me , he thinks about $150 would be max to do them both probably cheaper. User name on there is vmx-mxr I'll try and ask him about tags also.

Hydro blasting is very good as far as im told a few people i know have had excellent results with this method

I found a guy here on the sunny coast I will go and see him and see if i can get some prices. Thanks for the info might see if he can do the inlet manifold.

I got these ID plate rivets from Rare Spares and the instructions recommend to Epoxy them in !
I`m not keen on that idea and think option B is a bit rude as well.
Has anyone used these... and if so how did you fit em ?????

Little bit of Sikaflex and i mean a little match head worth

On the back of the tag and around the edges of the rivet. Do you trust this to stay in place ?
I'd prefer to actually compress the rivet for a little piece of mind. Has anyone used the 3/16 bolt technique ?
