Plate Holder

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone new the Bolt size and thread pattern used for the Front License Plate holder. I have access to a Machine shop and welder and wanted to make at least one for myself and save the $$$

Thanks

Im not sure what the threading is like on the bolt. I know someone fabricated a tire trailer using modified rear screws for a trailer hitch.

I think that thread is in the track area.

You have a tow hook in your trunk, next to the spare. You can have them use that as a template, I think.

Someone used the tow hook from the trunk and made a plate holder out of it:
