LCK81403 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Recently acquired my first Model A, a '29 roadster. My state, Colorado, requires two license plates but the car only has a left-rear bracket to mount a plate. What is generally done, or correctly done to mount a license plate in the front? There is no plate bracket on the front of this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Get the clamps to fasten the plate to the headlight bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The front plate on Model A fords were mounted on the headlight bar as 41 mentions. Brattons has the clamp set, PN18360 @ $5.50 for the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no plate bracket on the front of this car. I used pipe hangers I got from ACE hardware. I put the half circle end on the light Bar and attached the plate to the hanger. They are not visible like those plate hangers everyone uses. They look like a "P" but open so you can put it on the light bar. it's not fastened to the light bar, only the plate. The end of the hanger is mounted hole end up. I think they might be for 3/4 inch pipe or maybe 1/2." There only about $1.00 each or a couple dollars for a pair.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That will do the trick. On the mounts the vendors carry, they are repros of factory. You can tell an A guy who knows his stuff, they should mount so they are not visible either, rather than hanging the plate down. Looks much neater. But your solution will do same for sure.
