scooby doos in spalding do the 4mm size stamps which arent really any good, havent got any in either but £10 is a good price for an alphanumerical set. Been looking at other makes such as priory and union, probably set me back £50 for an 8mm set but i want it to look convincing.

The zetec block usually has a number made up of lots of dots rather than properly stamped and most I have seen are rusted away so badly that they cant be read.

yeh i agree with you, but being a ford replacement engine the transferred number would be stamped on in house by a garage anyway. So my engine number is stamped in 6mm letter above the thermostat at the moment.
