It's from the Aztecs...THE WORLD WILL END :lol:


As far as I know they don't mean anything, most if not all frames will similar markings on them. I'm pretty sure they are just factory assembly codes.

I think you will find the star in the circle is the acceptance mark (i.e. passed quality control). Just a check to make sure all the nuts were done up! On modern cars they paint mark the nuts/parts as they go through the assembly process, you will often see three paint colour marks on diffs etc....

I find this on the locknuts inside Oz Mini steering racks, too.

Yeah, like the stars you used to get for doing good things at school. I never got any. :twisted:
