I am doing my best to come up with the correct M-code plate based on my birth cert for my 66 Bus. I was told that there is an error in my M-codes but not sure if thats because they should be in a certain order, or if I truly made a bigger mistake. The bus is a true Kombi, and originally all light gray paint, top and bottom, with mesh gray interior. Any help fixing this would be appreciated! Hers what I have:

03**3******************
***********************
425**025**177**002*******
UN*2312*414183**6XXXXXX

Who told you there was an error or why was that reported?

What you posted sounds ok to me, although someone else with a similar Bus might have to report the order of M-codes on their plate for the 2nd line.

425 would be 1st though.

I think 3rd line should be 425 first, as Everett mentioned... then the rest of that line in increasing value. Yours should look similar to this one:

A longer list of codes would carry on... up to the second line. This is from a '74, so it's got some differences from yours... but you'll see what I mean.

Excellent, thanks guys. So Im assuming 002 should be after 425, and then go up in numerical order. Im getting a plate made and want it to be correct but the guy making it said there were errors and I didnt feel like spending a "set-up" fee. We're all here for each other and thats what keeps the community strong and the buses on the road! Thanks again!

Wait, should there even be the 002 M Code? 002/425 is how it reads on the birth cert. Is 002 not supposed to be on the plate?

Yes, 002 should be there.

I did a quick search and found another thread where the guy reported both 425 and 002 on his plate
