Default Re: Tip Top Chop :)


Looks great Cory! Nice work [thumbsup]

I've got an aftermarket plate braket that works pretty well (think I got it off ebay or something... Maybe a Competition Werks part?)

Anyway, for the inspection sticker, I just cut a piece of sheet aluminum the size of the sticker but left a big chunk of it at the "top" that would fit behind/under the license plate.

Then I made a second piece from the sheet aluminum that was the same size as the license plate and sandwiched the inspection sticker "plate" in between the actual license plate and new aluminum back plate (the inspection sticker part held in place with... you guessed it, Duct Tape!)

Drilled four holes in the new "back plate" that lined up with the holes in the license plate, then all of it is bolted together using #6 torx nuts and bolts (with plenty of blue Loctite!) Here's a couuple of pix:






Sounds a lot more complex than it is. If your handy with tin snips and a metal file, this mod *could* be for you [laugh]
