Over the Winter I purchased a Marauder themed wide body license plate holder from AutomotiveGold (NJ cops are sticklers for being able to see everything that is on our plates). It came shortly thereafter and today I tried to put it on.
Well after trimming the plate to fit in the holder :shake: I found out the machine screws for the bottom attachment are to long. They send 1/4-28, 1/2" machine screws but I actually needed 1/4-28, 1/4" which as it turns out are not readily available so I ground the originals down. So after wasting two hours of my time farting with that to finally realize the holder won't fit into the Marauders frame space. :mad2:
It saddens me though that this is a product that they make and their quality control is so poor. It is made in the USA and that was one of the motivators that got me to choose it. I can only think if it was made in Japan or China someone would probably be put to death for getting a fitment return.
Anybody have a wide body plate holder that fits? :dunno:
