During the change of a master cylinder I noticed that the original drivers floorpan has a small area of the bitumen scraped away and the chassis number stamped.
Is this normal or has a previous owner done such ?

Must confess to have not noticing one there, the main one being on the drivers side bulkhead thats often covered in paint.

I have a very vague memory of reading that there was one there when they left the factory, which would mean that you still have an original floor.

i have on on mine not far fron the MC access panel and is as clear as they come. nice to know it is normal as i do not think mine has been welded. also the number is very straight so seems to be orignal!
