Has anyone had dealings with Steamplates?

Hi all, me again!
I have been trying to get a name plate made for my 2", had no luck so far with Steamplates. I have sent them details and a contact number, but had no response at all.
Can anyone recommend a company that they have had dealings with or anyone that knows of a place that could make my a name plate.

I would like to hear from anyone that can help me.

Thanks for replying, thought it was just me that couldn't contact them!
I will be very interested to hear how you get on with this company.

Hi again,
Steamplates are still on the go. I have just had a reply. Its a case of just sorting out size style and design and theyll give a quote.i have researched sise by looking at photos of full sized engines and scaling down from that. Not very scientific as evenon full sized engines, everyone has a different idea as to what size a plate would be. Im guessing for mine something around 5cmx1cm maybe. I dont teally think that there is a true size standard, so i guess scale would be a guess. Just do a size that you think looks right is my thought.
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike, I have sent them a request for a quote, from the website, using there form which I attached to a email.
How long did you have to wait to get a reply from them?

Charlie

I emailed them again today, and had a reply within an hour. I have a feeling that he may have been on holiday.

Ok thanks Mike, I think I will email them again and see what happens.
