stang232 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I bought a cobra bumper, which I plan to mount on my GT.I do not want to have holes in it to better presented at the shows, photographs and my club meetings. You know it has a little different shape in a place where we assemble the license plate.Stock bumper is flat and there is no problem with the installation.In Europe I have no choice, I have to ride on a daily with the front license plate.Otherwise the cops will stop me every time I go anywhere.I searched the internet to find something ready to buy.I found dedicated to the Cobra plastic handle, but it is the size of the American plate. Euro size does not fit and ride with us size (whch is made to look as legal) also resulted to meetings with the police.I looked further and discovered this topichttp://www.sn95forums.com/showthread.php?52946-Cobra-Front-Plate-Bracket! It was just what I was looking for, but I think I can do something simpler, lighter and stiffer.In addition, I did not want to do the holes in the plate.So I bought a few parts:- Plastic plate bracket - 1 pc- angle 130x130mm -2 pcs ( I cut into two parts)- bolts M6 - 4 pcs- nuts M6 - 6 pcs- rubber insulators and it's effects.

Brian Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have Craig's bracket (the link you posted above) and know him personally. He lives down the road from me and his products are really high quality. I like how you replicated it for the Euro plate, that's awesome. You did a great job!!

95riosnake Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Nice work! I'm sure that being across the pond you have to make a lot of your own parts for these cars, I could only imagine how much shipping adds to the costs of everything.

You did a great job!!Ha has great idea for this bracket.please show him mine.bookshelf support is lighter and stronger than kinked flat steel. Nice work! I'm sure that being across the pond you have to make a lot of your own parts for these cars, I could only imagine how much shipping adds to the costs of everything.Simple things cheaper and faster to do yourself. Materials for my bracket cost me about 8-10$ if bought from US - it will cost about 80-90$two years ago when I install dual exhaust for my V6, I made H-pipe yourself .

Det_Riot Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Major props for improvising yourself! Like Dan said, I can't imagine how tough it must be to be into the car scene and live overseasSent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Very nice work, I don't blame you for not wanting to mount the plate to the bumper, at least now when you go to a show/meet you can pop it off quickly and have a nice clean look up front.
