Technical Spreader Bar

Looking for a stainless straight front spreader for a duece with holes drilled for a license plate.
Thank you State Cop for letting me know 2 plates are needed in MA - Asshole
Someone has to make one but I can't find it

Thanks in advance
Jack

 

Uh, welcome to the Hamb.

 

Just drill the bar. It is a little tricky as the bar is at an angle and maybe the mounting stud also. Just measure a lot.

You do have an electric drill, right.
Google is your friend.

I use the emergency brake cross shaft from a model A chassis... every hot rodder takes them off... should be easy to find and cheap... has a curve or dip in the center...
'33-'34 big trucks have a similar front spreader bar that has a little tighter dip in the center...HIH.

 

Get a bolt on one so you can take it off

Must be your going to attach the second plate they issued you.

 

You didn't bother to find out what the law was (the DMV did supply you with two plates, didn't they?) and the Policeman is the a**hole????

 

Don't know how to use Zip Ties to hold the front plate on?

 

ME. is a 2 plate state... I slightly v bent one and slid it behind the grill teeth of a '33 truck grill...

 

So the second plate isn't a spare? Jeeze.

 

TECH WEEK!

 

You don't show where you are located.A metal supply might have several sizes and drop off pieces.

 

If you can't drill holes, what are you doing with a hot rod?

 

Oddly enough, I believe that over here they must 'bolted' on to be legal.
Zip ties not allowed.

 

Maybe I have a thinner interpretation of the rules, than what the rule-makers intended.
Bolt the plate to a couple of chain links , then Zip Tie the chain links to the spreader bar
[technically the plate is bolted on, using the holes provided for by the plate manufacturer]

Hope this helps.

 

Untill you need a cop

 

'Baptism by fire' for the newbie!

 

I just posted on another board that over the years the number one reason I was ever pulled over in my truck was for no front plate. Every time I drove it without the plate including having the plate on the broken bracket laying on the seat while headed to my buddy's place to use his welder to fab a new one I got pulled over.

Not cheap but less expensive than a new spreader bar provided the Id is right is this So Cal unit. http://www.est1946.com/frontlicenseplatespreaderbarbrackets.aspx?page=2 Then you can print the receipt, tuck it in with the registration and insurance papers and do the "I have one ordered but it isn't here yet. Thing.
I do know several 32 guys in this area who have driven for years with the front plate mounted low behind the grill in their 32 Shell. Being met head on on the highway it shows up well enough that they usually get by with it.

 

Obviously...he's calling people assholes! Sheesh. Pay attention!

 

In Washington State you can run a single "collector" plate on the rear, and it can be a YOM plate. Of course if you drive a lot I guess you'd kinda stretch the "collector" car driving rules... not saying anyone would do that...

 

Duct Tape!

Seriously,why not use a original style tag bracket,just on hole to drill. HRP

 

My tire went flat, anyone got a compressed air part no. so i can get moving again.
