Yes, the DVLA will need to be able to read it. I assume you're going for a Cat emissions test with VOSA so they wont need to see it.

VOSA checked mine too. I didn't paint over the engine number but still had to get the wet and dry out to make it legible.

Box and engine look really smart. Makes me wish I'd painted my gearbox!

can anyone confirm if the bracket on the back of the starter motor out of the Mazda is required? it's miles off from the hole in the engine mount

You can take off the starter bracket mate, its not used on the Westfield which is why it doesnt fit :)
