Default JDM hatch with US license plate question.... 92-95 civic....

I am wondering if anyone on this board has a JDM hatch on thier car.
and if so how to you mount the license plate?
because the hole are about .5 inch wider than the holes on the license plate.

please inform me, or point me in the direction to get a bracket to get it to fit.

thanks in advance,
-tim

I was talking to my friend Todd about this a couple of days ago.

He only has one bolt in. It's kinda rigged.

I guess you could put a 3rd hole in your tag. It will keep you from using any stunna tag frames. Sorry.

i want to try and stay away from drilling holes in my license plate or the stickers on the plate,

im guess i will just make a bracket for each side and the plate will stick out about 3/4 inch

may look funny but it will get the job done.

not sure what the link was for, i saw no info in there, but.....
let me know if you figure something out.

i figured it out, i just made a simple bracket with 4 holes, 2 for the jdm holes and 2 for the US holes

welded two 10mm bolts in the US holes sticking out, and bolted the bracket on using the JDM holes... so now my plate has the extended stud look, but it works and i like it....

I will make some more for the other JDM ******, after i find the metal with the bend that i want,

blah..

i will post pics of my invention in a min.
