License plate mounting
I picked up a rusty tailgate for parts yesterday from Billy(66burban) and in trying to get the license plate bracket off, I noticed it is held on with clutch head bolts. Who sells a bit to remove them?

Re: License plate mounting
Thanks. The panel is small enough so I can take it with me. Just have to watch the sharp edges

Re: License plate mounting
You might find a clutch head screwdriver at Napa but not at HF, Tractor Supply or Ace Hardware. You might even have to purchase online.

If I recall, I think my local Ace actually had one too. I have a question for you, 65. My 'burb has the bracket for the top of the plate, and 2 holes in the gate for the bottom of the bracket, but I don't think there are captive bolts in those bottom holes -- how does the bottom of the plate fasten down?

Re: License plate mounting
it doesn't. It just "hangs" there and vibrates around. My dad drilled two holes that match the license plate through the lower door, and ran 2 carriage bolts from the inside out, and put star washers and acorn nuts on it and the license plate frame. when I get home, I will take a picture of it to show you what it looks like. This way the plate doesn't drop when I lower the tailgate.

Re: License plate mounting
i used 2 nylon headlight adjustment nuts, with a large headed phillips thru the plate. years later when the nylon dried out and cracked i replaced them with plastic drywall anchors and the same screws.

Re: License plate mounting
Drywall anchors is a very clever idea!

Re: License plate mounting
I also use drywall anchors to secure my door scuff plates because a few of the holes are enlarged due to rust.
