557F1: There are several companies with rights granted to them by FOMOCO & US Govt. They are listed in Hemmings Motor news.
I deal with the company in Lake Havasu AZ who's name I would need to look up @ my shop & post for you later. I'm away from shop right now. I'll try to do it later today, it will be after 1800- 1830 EDST & get back to you.

They had best Quality & Best Price I found. They require a photo copy of title or legitimate registration & name on it must match who they send the replacement too, or at least they did last time I bought a Data Plate From them, it was maybe 2005 -'06 or so. I believe it cost me under U$ 30.oo with mailing etc. in the USA.

Oh, I missed the location, that is probably a local tag for a knock down assembly. Sorry, Hawkrod

Actually, someone should make this a sticky in the "How To" forum.
It's bound to come up again.

Hawrod,that's ok,
i will give datatags another go and see if they will make a new tag for me
it's strange how they use different tags on the same item,
