I haven't seen any responses on this so I'll throw out "one man's opinion"
OMOl...
Whatever you feel like... or if you are into cosmetics - whatever you think
looks good.
I am not being flippant. I would imagine that dealers in the fifties just
used a steel bolt/nut; nylon was available and chrome could be purchased at
the local hardware store. If I were to mount a front plate (not needed
here in Florida) I would probably go for chrome and a thin chrome frame
around it. In the back - probably a chrome or black frame and the nylon
type with a thick rubber washer between plate and paint (not to mar the
paint).
Just my two cents worth...

Subject: [TR] Number plate fixings
Morning all (or afternoon) what is the standard approach for fixing
registration number plates to the early TR's, I don't see many people using
chrome bolts in any of the images in my books, would the nylon type be
acceptable, I know there may be a difference either side of the pond on this
one, but thought I'd ask Regards John
