Subject: Re: [TR] Front license plates
Hi,
Ohio has that stupid front plate law too. When I bought my Durango 4 years
ago the dealer asked: Would you like us to ruin your front bumper by
drilling holes in the plastic or leave the front plate off. Really the guy
had a
drill in his hand ready to go. I said screw it, if Dodge does not have a
suitable front license plate bracket/holder, leave it be. I have yet to be
caught,
but I am waiting for it to happen.
As far as I'm concerned anything goes on my Triumphs. I put them on if it
is convenient and proper mounting brackets are available which is not the
case
for the rubber bumper Wedge Triumphs. I asked a my buddie, Ron Urcek a
former Triumph service manager, about it and his answer was _%#@&**&&%$_
(mailto:#@&**&&;) ! Not able to elaborate since this is a family form. I
have those
long reflective plates on two of my Wedges that say TRIUMPH. I have
noticed a
few dirty looks from cops but so far I have skated arrest.
Round Tail Spits & GT6's have no way to mount them that I know of so I just
throw the plates in the boot on mine. My TR3, TR4's and the TR250 & TR6
have
holes in the front bumpers, some with little brackets so OK why not.
MySpitfire 1500 has a really cool chrome front license plate holder so
alright. The
TR8 has a weak bracket screwed into the front rubber bumper. Yuk, most of
the time it is crooked.
Cheers,
Darrell
