RE: License plate holder

(04-22-2014, 10:12 AM)RetroSeattle_imp Wrote: Inspired by the Chip Beck thread, I came up with a simpler solution. Went to the hardware store and bought a 4" by 10" sheet of thin (1/16th inch) aluminum plate for craft projects. I cut it down to 4" by 7" to match the license plate and used my grinding wheel to put a radius in the corners. Then drilled four holes to match the plate, and two holes to match the heavy stock license plate holder. Since you can't countersink such thin sheet I got four nylon spacers to go in-between the license plate and my new holder plate. Added two reflector buttons to keep the WA state patrol happy.
Here's what the plate looks like when installed.
And a side view showing the little nylon spacers between the license plate and the holder.

Very nice looking job. I'm going to try that.

Do you have to have the reflector buttons by law in Washington?
