nrenz123 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Now that the other number plate bracket group buy has finished (i didnt want to step on anyones toes) i am going to put out a feeler to see wether there would be any interest in the bracket i've made to mount the number plate on my V2 bumper. Basically the bracket consists of a stainless steel bar that screws into the towing eye thread, onto which an aluminium plate is then bolted on to. The number plate is then fixed using double sided tape. There will be a slight gap where the number plate goes over the bolt which attaches the bracket to the bar but it is hardly noticable. I've had mine fitted for over a month now and i've had no issues with the plate coming loose so i've decided to see if anyone else would like one. I'm going to offer them for £25 Delivered, which is a cheap way of mounting the plate to the car. Currently i can do them for the uk style plates but if anyone would like one in a custom size or JDM im sure that can be arranged. I should add that i am making these as a DIY project, so the plates wont be polished or anything, but they arent visable and do the job! 1. Stew 2. Clarkie34 - Paid & Posted. 3.

Stew Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm in Nathan. I can send sizes for my 5 letter plate and fitting for my aerosync bumper. I'm guessing the Nismo V1 would be the same pretty much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrenz123 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Stew, i can make the mounting bar any length so people can get to plate to sit exactly where they want. the best way i can think of is to screw in your towing eye and using the tape measure give me the length at which you would like the end of the bar to be. Basically i need the length as shown in the picture, that will make sure it sits exactly where you want it. P.S. Who needs cad or photoshop!

nurrish Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Looks good mate There are 2 types of tow eye thread out there. 16mm and 22mm people will need to tell you which size they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah, i have two bars one in 16mm and the other 22mm. As stated i can make them to any length so that they sit exactly as you want them For the moment im just seeing if there is enough interest to warrant making them in numbers Nath.

Dene8 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Can I determine my thread size from my cars manufacture date or do I need to dig out the towing eye and physically measure it..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 They're not always there. Not sure why they are even there on some, but when I removed my numberplate holder there were two holes a couple of inches apart which were maybe an inch or two in diameter.
