Installed! The 16mm long license plate screws were a bit long for mine. A lock washer on one side, with the flat washer on the other side, fixed it. Kenny, thank you again for a much more elegant mount than the OEM.
Before: Evil.
After: Righteous!

I am guessing you don't have a license plate frame? That probably makes up for the difference.
Yep. That would be it. When I find a frame that I really like...
The license plate frame makes the 16 mm screws just right for acorn nuts. Otherwise the next step down is typically 12 mm long screws. I think adding the extra washer was the better way to go than a shorter screw.

There's some technical information in here worth preserving so I moved it to the members' products section. kennyw then pointed out that he'll be making no more of them, so it's in here now.
