Hi guys...been a long time...life, you know how it is...anyhoo...a long time ago I found my ROT
sheet under the back seat however it is rotten and has holes here and there unfortunately. Are there
any places that make replicas of these like they do the door tags etc? Ive done a search here and online
to no avail...
In addition, where can one find a decoder for all the various things on the ROT...I have the thunderbird restoration
guide but it does not answer all my questions...specifically I don't know what the below means...
(1964 Thunderbird Convertible- Black over Red interior - built Feb 1st 1964)
Tops/Mats - 2
Pwr Brakes/Pwr Steer etc (cant read it properly) - 6
Tyres Size - 0
Tyres Type - 1
Radio - 3
Battery - 1
Wheel cover/Fender shield - 2
A (next to 'Gas' on ROT sheet) - E
any help appreciated guys

Re: Replacement/Replica ROT sheet and decoding it
Decoding information for ROTs is included in VTCI's 1964-1966 Original Factory Specifications (OFS) Manual, available for purchase to VTCI members.

As for replicating ROTs, I have seen incorrect/non-authentic blanks of them but am not aware of anyone who has the correct equipment/typeface to replicate the codes typed onto them.
