Marv Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Marv,Which size did you have on your 22B ? SteveNormal rear and smallest legal import on front - if you go on the site it tells you the smallest legal import size you can have and somewhere on there is the legal line about smaller front plates (and square rear plates if applicable) for imports, worth printing off and carrying wqith you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 To be fair its pretty simple if you don't want to get pulled.The letters need to be a minimum 50mm x 78mm in the Charles wright font (Can be 3D) and need a minimum of 11mm space between them with an 11mm border.Hope that helps.
