It was Mark Rink's venture selling plates and other items.

Mark is Steve Rink's son Steve being the founder of Peddlepower/Powerlite.

I want to say after 83, because I never did get a plate, I might have got a visor and stripped it and restickered with my stuff. But I just don't have a strong memory of the product line. My friend that raced after 83 did have some Mark 4 decals in his stash of decals that he gave me.

Could be wrong though.

"do the ones on eBay look real??"

The plates are definitely 'legit', that particular seller has been listing a bunch of (n.o.s.) plates for the past month or so. I personally picked up a few Mini-Flow's off him, even an elusive J2 Micro Panel in white, silver & black.

I also believe Mark 4 number plates where manufactured by Zeronine.

I dig this line of Powerlite goods! That number plate looks good on there, but ya need the Mark4 Numbers too!! haha

I found a shop that still had a few Mark4 numbers, but he wouldn't sell me very many. Then, the next time I went back, someone had bought the whole box!!! Bastages!!!

Hey Seadooit....does that seller have any mini/cruiser plates?! How much were they going for? I'd love to have a cruiser one!

Powerlite is looking good man!
