There were two plates on my cowl, both unreadable, so I picked up a repro and stamped in my vin. The factory plate had the body number which told the story, which plant, etc etc. Also the larger of the two plates I've mounted verticle, just because it fits the holes. The screws are tiny 'clutch head', and I've only seen these screws on the id plates. I can shoot a photo if you want, but you may get a responce from others with more correct info on what the originals looked like. Best of luck
