3 week delay for a data plate change? Here is an idea that should cover you during the inspection just in case the DAR has a problem. Have a second data plate made. You can then swap out while he waits. I had my data plate engraved for about $10. Might be worth it because the DAR will probably charge you for a return trip and it will more than likely be way more than $10. In fact, make sure you have spare materials on hand so that you can quickly repair any descrepancy right away. Nuts, bolts, tie wraps, elect stuff, etc, etc,....
Just a thought FWIW.
