License plate holder

[dhan]

I need a license plate holder for the front bumper of my '90 Reatta. Anyone have one to sell ? I assume that it will be specially shapped to fit the angle of the bumper.

There was a post not too long ago about a grand am plate holder that would work part#22551295

Contact jfinn@cpinternet.com. He had a plate holder for my '88 Reatta. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They show up on e-bay once in a while. They usually go for 40-50.00. If you do go that route make sure you get the lower brackets with it.

Attached is a picture of the Reatta bracket and a Riviera part number 25556786.

Last time I checked the Riviera part was still available (it does not come with braces required on the Reatta)

The braces are easy to fabricate from 3/8 diameter steel tubing (like fuel line)

Cut the tubing to 5 3/4 overall, flatten the ends back 1 1/4 inches. Bend each end 45 degrees back 1 inch from the end. Drill a 1/4 diameter hole 5/16 from each end. Look up under the front of the car and you will see two plastic inserts on the radiator side of the aluminum bumper reinforcement. The holes are 9 inches apart. One end of the brace attaches in these holes.

If you use the Riviera part, it is not a buy-it and install job. You must trim the top and sides of the Riviera part to the contour of the Reatta bumper. Done properly, it looks like the original.

I got a 99 GM envoy to fit No cutting and pasting either. I took mycar to my GMC/Buick dealer. The parts man tried several on my car until we got one to fit. The goal is to find a good parts guy who's willing to take the time.

Barney come through again...THANKS Don't need one but you/I never know....copied for my private library <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Barney, did you ever look in to fabricating the outside mirror seals/gaskets? The seals/gaskets are a definite weak point, and almost every one I have seen (except on low miles/garaged vehicles) have some degree of deterioration.
