Yes, not a "Vanity" black plate like the state offers now.  That plate was assigned to my car when everyone had to switch over to the black plates. (62 or 63?)  Played hell getting the DMV let me keep them.  They took the original pink slip from 1976 (last time the car was registered) when I changed ownership before the restoration.  After the car was ready to out on the road, I was refused the use of the black plates because I did not have any paperwork showing the 1976 registration.  I told her how could I, you took it from me.  Big argument started which brought over a supervisor.  She told me to give her a few days and she will try to get hold of Sacramento to find the original paperwork.  Two weeks later registration came in the mail showing the black plates were ok to use.  Sometimes the system works, just not very often.<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1571093668742">Mike M<br><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 3:28 PM, Rick Fisk</div><div><refisk@chartermi.net> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div id="yiv0553813394"><div>Mike,<div><br clear="none"></div><div>I don't know the answer to your cable question.  But I see a black plate.  Cool!  I still have my black plates, but can't use them here of course.  :-)</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Rick<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv0553813394AppleMailSignature">Sent from my keyboard</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">On Oct 14, 2019, at 5:46 PM, Michael MacLean via Spridgets <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Just got a replacement tach cable from Vicky Brit to replace the 20 year old cable that broke right at the reduction drive at the generator of my Bugeye.<div class="yiv0553813394yahoo-compose-assist-image-card yiv0553813394ymail-android-inline-img-container yiv0553813394ymail-card"><FB_IMG_1571022124759.jpg><div class="yiv0553813394yqt1917142915 yQTDBase" id="yiv0553813394yqtfd66151"><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv0553813394yqt1917142915 yQTDBase" id="yiv0553813394yqtfd50789"><br clear="none">  This new one is made in Thailand.  Seems OK.  Does anyone know the maximum the inner cable can protrude from the tachometer end to properly engage the instrument without damaging it?  Picture is me feeling small on the way home from my transmission swap at the mechanic.<div id="yiv0553813394yMail_cursorElementTracker_1571089481047">Mike MacLean<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div id="yiv0553813394ymail_android_signature"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv0553813394ymail_android_signature_link" target="_blank" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><FB_IMG_1571022124759.jpg></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>------------------------</span><br clear="none"><span></span><br clear="none"><span><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a></span><br clear="none"><span></span><br clear="none"><span>Donate: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a></span><br clear="none"><span>Suggested annual donation: $12.75</span><br clear="none"><span></span><br clear="none"><span>Archive: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/spridgets">http://www.team.net/pipermail/spridgets</a>  <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a></span><br clear="none"><span></span><br clear="none"><span>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/refisk@chartermi.net">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/refisk@chartermi.net</a></span><div class="yiv0553813394yqt1917142915 yQTDBase" id="yiv0553813394yqtfd94653"><br clear="none"></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div> </div> </blockquote></div>
