Does a haynes manual not have that information in the technical info section?

There's a book called sporting escorts, about £20 has all info in back about sorting and dating vin and build plates, very good has all details about specifications on all sporting escorts available for mk2 and mk1

According to that book for a 1976 car the axle weights are left blank 79 onwards shows 1st box 1325kg-----2nd box2325kg 1st axle 630kg 2nd axle 800kg

I have a 1979 MK2 RS that I can give you info from if you need.  I would think they are the same.

 

My plate is a bit rough, and actually went to Fords last week to see if I could get a new one made up as I want to rivet a new one on. Unfortunately, they couldn't help.

 

Are you using an original or replica blank plate? 

 

 

Edited:

 

Please see the pic of the chassis plate.  There are no weights on mine...

Top 2 links no longer do vintage tags.  Bottom link on ebay is exactly the same as mine.

 

Right, tips on how to get this one past the Missus guys...

But they do say "We no longer stock classic tags, but we do have contacts who can procure tags on your behalf, please contact us for details" i'd give them a call and see if one of their contacts can ship direct to them to stamp them.

You can buy vin  tags off a site called retro vin plates , then send it to other company to stamp

I used this place - about £40 but the result was very good.
