[TR] Front license plates

[TR250Driver at aol.com]

Hi,
Ohio has that stupid front plate law too.  When I bought my Durango 4  years 
ago the dealer asked:  Would you like us to ruin your front bumper by  
drilling holes in the plastic or leave the front  plate off. Really the guy had a 
drill in his hand ready to go. I  said screw it, if Dodge does not have a 
suitable front license plate  bracket/holder, leave it be.  I have yet to be caught, 
but I am waiting for  it to happen.
 
As far as I'm concerned anything goes on my Triumphs.  I put them on  if it 
is convenient and proper mounting brackets are available which is not the  case 
for the rubber bumper Wedge Triumphs.  I asked a my buddie, Ron Urcek  a 
former Triumph service manager, about it and his answer was _%#@&**&&%$_ 
(mailto:#@&**&&) ! Not able to  elaborate since this is a family form.  I have those 
long reflective plates  on two of my Wedges that say TRIUMPH.  I have noticed a 
few dirty looks  from cops but so far I have skated arrest.  
 
Round Tail Spits & GT6's have no way to mount them that I  know of so I just 
throw the plates in the boot on mine.  My TR3, TR4's  and the TR250 & TR6 have 
holes in the front bumpers, some with little  brackets so OK why not. 
MySpitfire 1500 has a really cool chrome front license  plate holder so alright.  The 
TR8 has a weak bracket screwed into the front  rubber bumper.  Yuk, most of 
the time it is crooked.
 
Cheers,
Darrell
