Fury Chassis Number

[Corpulent Tosser]

I am trying to find the chassis number on my Fisher Fury, on my striker it was on top of one of the chassis rails beside the engine but I cannot see anything on the Fury.

Do the factory stamp a number or fit a plate or is that done as part of the registration process ?

Any help on where to look for a number would be appreciated,

The fury was sold with a seperate vin plate that owners rivetted on where ever , usually chasis bulkheads or foowell

So if someone had no intention of using the car on the road he may not have attached the VIN plate.

I think I will have to contact Fisher to see if they know the history of the car.

Thanks

I wasn't supplied a VIN plate with mine. Mine isn't road registered but to identify it for insurance purposes I've stamped a number on one of the chassis rails.

Vaguely still on topic, I read this on Totalkit car today.....

www.totalkitcar.com said:

SNIPPETS 1…….. a very pertinent e-mail from a VOSA vehicle inspector last week, concerning VIN numbers needs, I think, to be broadcast:



“Steve; Please advise your readers that their VIN number should be on the car in at least two places (this is in their interests for security – if it was stolen, how can the police or DVLA identify it if it was recovered?).



In addition, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to secrete other markings for security purposes. Since 1980, the law says the VIN should be STAMPED DIRECTLY INTO THE MAIN CHASSIS/MONOCOQUE (depends on type of construction) on the offside (UK) or centrally. A favourite place is on the frame to the offside of the engine. It should ALSO be on a stamped metal tag or tamper-proof sticker anywhere easily legible.”

That is all......

i guess you have a V5 for the car?

so why you dont stamp yourself the vin-no., as stated in the v5, into one of the chassis tubes?


i´m owning 3 kits: 1 from 1989, the other from 1991 and a fury with unknown built date...reg date is 1977.

the 2 kits named first have the chassis numbers stamped into one of the chassis tubes and the manufacturer-plate rivetted to the bulkhead.

the fury has a fisher-plate with a short chassis-no., not rivetted to the car, but the V5 has a 17digit vin-no. starting with SABTVR.... not stamped into car.

I do not have a V5 as the car has never been registered for the road, I only want the chassis number to identify the year of manufacture.

[stevebubs]

mine (Sylva Fury) has it stamped in one of the upper chassis rail faces in the engine bay.

Don't know if that was the standard position or not.

[Comadis]

the chassis never came with a stamped no. from fisher or whoever.

so you must give fisher a ring, asking them about identification characteristics.

eventually you need to take some detailed pictures, sent to them and they can tell you the approx. date of chassis.

espec. front suspension changed often (in detail).

is it a live-axle model?
and its definately not a sylva?

[Corpulent Tosser]

It is an IRS model and it is a spider.

I will contact Fisher , who I believe is now owned by BGH Geartech, I suspect it is post Jan 2000 and so will need a cat fitted for competition use, I still hope to find out it is earlier though.

if you ask BGH in a very "kind" way, they eventually could identify your chassis as a pre2000 one......you know what i mean.....

[Corpulent Tosser]

I did speak to BGH and they said it was post 2000, they also said they would issue me a chassis number to give some identity to the car, that was a couple of weeks ago, I haven't received it.

I have given up on trying to identify the car as pre 2000 and a new exhaust system including a cat is currently under construction at C+C Stainless Exhausts.

It is of course expense I could have done without but the controlling organisation have decided that we must have catalytic converters.
