I thought this would be shown in a new thread, so anyone with a 916 front end might not miss out on it, conversion or not. In Euro, it is no problem, as they have the slimmer plates, but here our plates are taller. Some have chosen not to use the plates in front , that is your paroggative. I didn't have one either, until I got pulled over by the police for it. These pictures are also helpful in the way that you can see how by using this bracket, how much of the radiator air hole is covered up , in case you have a conversion. The bracked came from the Nissan dealership, what car is uncertain (Altima, maybe ?). But it has two slanted bubbles in the back, that allow for a rivet to go through the bumper after the holes have been drilled. It sits nice and flush, and is sturdy. The entire back of the plate is supported by it. It mounts rite on to the bottom "lip" of the 916 bumper. The bracket was $40 dollars. Hope this helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hey Tron, did you always have that hood scoop on there? I can't remember seeing that before....
I don't have a 916 bumper, just the stock one and I too had to make a license plate mount cause the Japanese plates here are much larger than the ones from back home and the pitch of the holes is wider too....I came up with this...I made it from some alluminum scrap at work, bent it up in a brake press (forgot the English) than rounded the corners and deburred it and than using this kind of rivet like tool (don't know the name in English) attached the mount to the bumper and it has 8 mm taps in their for the bolts to hold the plate on...costed me nothing and took about half an hour to make and another half an hour to attach. Heres a picture. (IMG:http://www.dreamgate.ne.jp/914/my914/my914_4.jpg) |
