I just got the mower deck axle license plate bracket. looks great and works great and got to the house in a couple days.

Anyone have the long EURO-style plate mounted without drilling? If so how did you do it?? I have the mower axle kit that fit the US spec plate but I am nearly at a loss for ideas on how to mount my long plate securely enough so it does not flex while cruising at 130+mph.

I spoke with them a long while ago. I remember the gentleman I spoke with asking me what type of license plate I had. Try giving them a call or an email. I am sure that they will do something for you!

Edit: I just shot an email off to Larry (the email address has his name in it) and asked about the possibility of running off a few Euro style plate holders off. I will report back when I get a response.......

Just got a reply from Larry. Looks like I was mistaken about the license plate bracket. He does not offer one for the Euro style license plates. Now I am going to go on a search for such a thing. Be back shortly!

Possible solution?
 
I found this front mount license plate bracket and thought I'd share the link as it looks like a decent alternative.
While I'm not thrilled it still involves making a holes in the bumper at least it's on the underside edge and not directly on the front face....

I'm just going to pay the fine. Mounts + license make the car ugly IMO. Plenty of cops have seen me without the plate and not said anything, maybe I'll reconsider when they pull me over.

Also to the poster above me, those holders look REALLY nice. Much better than the other ones. I'd actually consider those.

Thanks bro, just got back from AFG myself, just in time for spring.

Just got my mower axle bracket and unfortunately, the tow hook area is blocked by my LED running lights. Argh.

The best option is to drive around without one first. To see if you should even bother. Many cops don't give a hoot about it. If a cop pulls you over, say you didn't know about that law and that your car came without one and you will get one ASAP. He'll let you off with a warning or something. Then you can start searching :)

So my question is, do other states more aggresively enforce the law?


I also live in Colorado. Never in the last 20 years has anyone I know got pulled over/cited for not having a front plate. It seems very lax here.
Maybe it's just because all the cops only see the back of my car :rolleyes:

Larry (from moweraxle) asked me to take some pictures for him. Maybe he can work something out. I'll post the results.

He seems like a genuinely good guy.

So Larry ended up refunding me for the mounting kit because nothing could be done to get around the DLR kit.

It really was a sharp looking, well-built kit. I would definitely recommend the moweraxle to kit to anyone looking for a front bracket solution that doesn't involve drilling.

Larry responded to all of my emails within 24 hrs and even refunded my shipping without me asking for it. Class act.

Finally grabbed the nuts I needed. Not looking forward to moving back to Virginia.

Purely custom one off I did myself. (Dad for welding)

Hmmm....
 
Is there only one mounting spot on the car? In other words is the tow hook mount spot the same as the license plate mount spot? So it's one or the other correct? Thx.
