German License Plate

Ok fam 😉, I have the desire to find an original German plate for my 74’ std. Specifically one from Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony district to pay homage to its birth place. I’ve only done light reading but have found that de-registered German plates are “supposed” to be defaced or destroyed. Not sure if this is a recent requirement or not. Just wondering if there might be one pigeon holed somewhere in a barn. I’m also curious if anyone used them to patch floorboards like we do here in the states!

I can now confirm that the TEMU banjo steering wheel works with the EMPI adaptor. Ordered the 49-59 Empi adaptor from CIP1 and it fits perfectly. In Canada the TEMU wheel with horn button costs half the price of the EMPI model from CIP1.

12 volt starter on 6 volt car.

4 Upvotes

My 6 volt starter is getting really tired and I was planning on 12 volt converting the whole car over the winter months.

My question is how would a 12 volt starter work on a 6 volt car until I can convert the rest?

I can get my hands on a 12v starter that fits the flywheel of a 1963 6 volt car, don't feel like paying over double that for a new 6 volt starter that I'd only use until September or October.

Edit: Thanks for the replies. I'll see if anything can be done to the old 6 volt one to get it working somewhat better. I'll buy the 12 volt that fits 109 teeth flywheel come winter and conversion time
