[TR] TR3A body number tags

[Carl TR]

FROM TRA Judging Guide

Chassis Plate.   This is a brass plate mounted on the firewall above and
left center of the battery.  Mounting is done with pan-headed, slotted,
sheet-metal screws.
EB Plate.   This plate is mounted above the Chassis Plate.  Mounting is done
with pan-headed, slotted, sheet-metal screws.  The plate is painted body
color.  Numbers stamped on plate begin with "EB".  TR3Bs do not have the EB
plates.

My note:
EB Plate screws should be body color as well.

For some reason I had it in my mind that they were held in with screws.  So 
I put mine in with screws.  Stainless.  Slotted.  Just like the factory 
would have.  Except the stainless part.  I might have to ding myself a few 
points at the next concours.
