tape

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Guatemala
"Los caracteres fueron fijados en tape"

This phrase repeats several times in an expert opinion report in which the characteristics of a car are identified. This phrase appears when describing the chassis and motor.

" Se estableció que por sus características de impresión y acabado si coincide con Ia que la fábrica y plantas de ensamble colocan en este tipo de vehículo. Los caracteres fueron fijados en tape y posteriormente comparados con los archivos de calcas de identificaciones de vehículos similares en marca y línea, con que se cuenta en este Laboratorio, determinándose que el tamaño y caligrafía de los mismos si es coincidente."

Si fuera un anglicismo de "tape" creo que pondría fijados CON tape.

on tape

I take this to mean something like fingerprint tape, used to take an impression.

"A number of motor vehicle owners confided to The Standard how they were now being forced to reapply for the correct plates, but some had to submit their vehicles for tape lifting of the engine numbers because they had already charged the engines of their cars.

"Experts from DCI normally do tape lifting on a car when there is a discrepancy between the actual details of its engine number and the one appearing on the logbook."
