Number plate mounted on winch
I have just bought a winch for my defender and I am wondering how to mount my number plate.

Could I have some pictures of other people's for a bit of inspiration?

Cheers!

DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR WINDSCREEN
DO NOT STICK ONE ON YOUR BONNET

Use a bracket designed to mount your number plate when a winch is fitted.

Made one for the disco out of a couple of scrap bits of steel, not the nicest but as with most temporary mods its lasted long enough to be a permanent one.

I riveted spring clips to the number plate, ideally I would use a backing plate or old near plate to provide extra strength to the plate. The clips were either 1in or 1.25in tool clips from Screwfix and cost around�4 for a pack of 10

I'll have a look and see if I still have the rest of the pack to check the size for you.

Mine is up in the middle of the roofrack. Added bonus is that some car park ANPR cameras don't pick it up, and I have missed out on parking fines as a result...

I fitted my winch and only realised that I had not refitted the number plate three MOTs and 50 000 miles later when I was repainting the motor!

If it was cracked I would have failed the MOT, but as it was not there they just did not 'see' it, if you get my drift. 80" 1948
