I mounted mine on a piece of flat aluminium bar from Bunnings.
I did the same for the rear as I did not want to drill extra holes in the car.

I took mine off and replaced it with a piece of flat bar to mount my historic plate. Old 1970 mount is yours if wanted. |

Thanks, doc, I'm also looking for options to mount my historic plates as well. Mind sending me a pic? Does the number plate sit below the bumper now? |

Thanks for the reply michael. I thought about doing that, but number plate mount isn't in very good condition and looks pretty ugly. I could always have a new mount made up, they aren't very complex, but id prefer to find a simpler option. |

You could remove the plate holder and just use a bar like Michael used, just on the lower bolts under the bumper? |

Yes mine is now below the bumper, looks better IMO. Will take a pic tomorrow. It is just a piece of zinc coated 30x3 flat bar, painted black. 2 end holes for the front panel brackets and 2 for the plate. |

Took a photo, uploaded to the Macbook Air. Bloody latest incarnation of Photos won't share nice with flickr. Wish I hadn't updated the oS from mavericks.  Anyhow, it just looks like the couple of pics shown above. [edit] imported it off the camera instead.
