Anyone have an original British Army bridge plate for sale?

Must have 3 mounting point holes and fully rounded edge.

Hi,

Thanks, yes I have but with one exception at horrendous price, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=15&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi-4JSnm5rmAhVRtHEKHV9JBqIQFjAOegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FGENUINE-LAND-ROVER-WEIGHT-BRIDGE-PLATE-MILITARY-LIGHTWEIGHT-REFURBISHED-%2F153105982704&usg=AOvVaw08RGjXloruwh0Pz7774K_W, they are wrong for series vehicles and mostly copies.

The one on EBAY   (Marcus Glen)   ,  I am certain the packaging label is identical to reproductions being sold by Champ & Land Rover dealers.   I have had them in the past ,  I would rather have them than a original.  The pressed edge is spot-on (I have compared).   I just use a genuine bridge-plate for a drill-jig.

The advantage of the repro. is that the steel is Zintec or a similar coating.  Originals are just plain bright mild steel ,  you can blast clean them , prime & finish but if vehicle is in daily use - the rust comes through.  Garage queen - I would still use a £15 copy.

Thanks but I already have a repro and want the original article.
