You don't need to tell them anything, as your not changing the proportions or suspension mounts it's basically the same as any parts swap

I believe general consensus is to keep the bit of original chassis that has the number on if possible, makes it easier to prove, should the need arise, that the vehicle has just had a replacement chassis.

This would work, I always stamp the chassis number on the new chassis anyway

Oh right how would u stamp the new number on the chassis, but isnt it illegal to have a chassis with no numbers on without registering it?

Probably best getting the number stamped on before they galv it. My chassis hasn't been stamped so I'm going to fit a couple of plates with the number on, one where the number should be and another hidden out of sight but where I can still find it.
