Front Number Plate Mounts

[Beaker_Bob]

Morning all,

I know this topic has been discussed at length previously, so i'll try and avoid the usual subject matter.  On a recent trip to Toybox, I noticed they were now mounting front number plates using flexible mounts, allowing them to hinge rearward in the event of being struck.  Unfortunately i didn't get chance to have a proper look at the mounts in question.  Does anyone know what they are using and where to purchase them from?  Alternatively, does anyone have a Toybox prepared car with said mounts that could snap a photo and post here.

Thanks

Bob

I've done something similar using 2 cable ties. I pass one cable tie through the number plate and then through the hole in the body work. The locking bit prevents it pulling all the way through. I then used the locking bit off another cable tie to secure the first one. Cost about 2p for all 4 ties.

Don't think there is a an off the shelf solution,  most of us have our own ideas on how to mount them.    Motor bike well nuts are a neat solution.

I use rubber bobbins - a bit like these - they work very well.

I used a pair of small brass hinges.

Just be very careful if using hinges, that it doesn't appear to be a mechanism for folding the plate out of site to avoid something other than road debris  

If you happened to drive past a copper having a really bad day, at speed, with one pushed back flush to the nose by air pressure, you might suddenly be the one having a real bad day!

Thanks for all the suggestion, i feel a little research coming on (read that as trial and error!).

Cheers
