rippo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 This is the wiring diagram from under the bonnet of a Bedford Mw. It seems to be some type of transfer on a steel plate. It should be a white background, you can see bits of it around the edges. What would be my best bet to remove the grime from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goanna Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 your best bet maybe remove it , scan it into a photo or graphics program and enhance and restore the damaged sections ..then print it out onto a new high quality media ..and re-attach it to the truck.

gazzaw Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Even try a corner with a mild soap and water solution (sugar soap might be too rough) to see if it removes grime and not the transfer Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 would be worth sparying with picture fixative or putting the sticky clear book cover on before removal. Follow the old rule of try on a non visilble spot first. Possibly a light wipe with lighter fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippo Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 The picture shown is a scan of the plate, it desn't quite fit on my scanner. Pete gain was very carefull removing it!! Mike i thought of your idea, as it dosen't seem much more than a piece of paper stuck on a sheet of steel. It explains why these plates are so hard to find, everyone i've come across on a truck has either been red rusty or painted over. Although the wiring diagram is for an early bedford, you can see the larger side lights. It also shows blackout covers and the convoy light. the manual i have for mine dosn't show a convoy light. Also the early plates were pressed alloy, all the others on my vehicle are. This also tie's up with the material shortages, data plates being changed to steel rather than alloy along with other fitments. So for that reason i not going to try and make another as it would only be the wrong one. I'll have to keep searching, don't tll me you have a stack of them down under mike? Hope your taking care of those lovely air filters!!! :rofl: I still want try and clean it up, i might see is an art restorer might have a go at it.
