    Byron,
    What was Acacia Ridge? Nude or paint?

    Depends. HZ was painted BODY and VIN. I'll have to check the others for certain but from memory though HJ-HX were painted BODY and VIN and HQ was painted BODY only.

    That certainly aligns with my HQ, it is Acacia Ridge and only the body tag is painted, other 2 are naked.

    The back of the plate is quite dirty and has some light pitting, I've given it a bit of a clean and in good light I can still make nothing out... I'll keep cleaning tomorrow and see how it comes up. Could anyone recommend something to clean years of dust, what looks like lime scale and dirt from the plate? I've already used plenty of hot water, metho and prep wash... Not moving it.

    Yes, that is normally the case for Acacia Ridge tags, and they used the last 2 x digits of the PSN. I'll have to check all my Dandenong and Pagewood tags to check their method, however I think they are inconsistent.

    I'd like to see very early HJ tags from Acacia and see how they are. These use HQ rivets.
