[MSCW list] MSCW Digest, Vol 103, Issue 7

[Michael Graham]

Chuck,

If you'd rather not worry about the po po pulling you over for a "secondary
offense", this has worked great for me for the past two years.  It's a
little pricey but does what you want it to.  
You may need to slightly bend the bar connecting the plate to the tow hook,
but I tried two other similar plate mounts that have a straight shaft to the
tow hook and you can't replace the tow hook cover like you can with this
one.

Living in Virginia, I simply don?t run a front plate. It?s now a secondary
offense, so I don?t fear a ticket. I carry the plate in the trunk.

I have one that I got from moss Miata. It attaches to the front tow hooks
for my ?95. We aren?t using it if it fits yours.

I just bought a 2024 Miata and the dealer had no mounting hardware for the
front plate. I understand that there are no-drill options for mountings.
Any suggestions for best after-market plate mounts that minimize
damage/modification to the car?  I can do a drill-type mount if that is most
secure.  Thanks in advance.

There are several aftermarket license plate brackets that essentially 'bolt
in' to the tow hook threaded hole on the ND front bumper.  But you'll want
to be careful that they'll fit on a 2024, in case that model year changed
things.

I just bought a 2024 Miata and the dealer had no mounting hardware for the
front plate. I understand that there are no-drill options for mountings.
Any suggestions for best after-market plate mounts that minimize
damage/modification to the car?  I can do a drill-type mount if that is most
secure.  Thanks in advance.
