Parts Included: License Plate mounting bracket Assembly. Includes Base Plate and
License Plate Holder
License Plate mounting Screws: (4) 6mm X 12mm (Phillips head) and
6mm nuts (10mm wrench size)
Base plate mounting screws: (2) 6.3mm X 20mm with washer
Tools Needed: 10mm sockets with ratchet Note: 1/4-inch drive preferred but
3/8 will work but extra caution will be needed when tightening screws
Phillips Screwdriver
10mm wrench
1/8-inch drill bit and drill
Step 1: Ensure all parts listed above are accounted for. Note: If at any time during the
installation process you need assistance please call [phone].
Step 2: Separate the license plate holder from the base by simply pulling the pull pin ring
outward and sliding apart.
Step 3: Center base plate bracket as shown in figure 1. The bracket will be centered on bumper
with the back of the front plate sitting approximately ¼” for the bumper as shown in figure 2.
(Foam tape has been added to the base plate to help hold it in place while aligning and can be
left on once alignment is complete). Slide the front bracket into the tubes to verify alignment.
Remove when alignment is complete and continue to step 4.
Step 4: Once base plate is correctly positioned and while holding the plate in place, carefully
drill two pilot holes for the mounting screws. See figure 3.
Step 5: Using the two 6.3mm X 20mm screws secure the front of base plate to the vehicle using
the following method. Caution: When tightening the screws extreme care should be taken not
to over tighten screws or the hole may become stripped and lose its ability to secure the base

plate. Place the screw into the 10mm socket and begin to tighten. Once the screw is flush with
the plate stop. Now tighten screw one half turn and stop.
Step 6: Secure the license plate and frame (optional) to the license plate bracket using the two
screws provided. Requires the Phillips screwdriver and 10mm wrench (Not included).
Step 7: Slide the license plate rods into the two tubes located on the base plate. Slide the rods
into the tubes until the rods hit the pull pin. Simply pull the ring on the pull pin and advance the
rods. Release ring and continue to advance rods until the pull pin locks into place. NOTE: The
rods and spring-loaded pull pin are required to be sprayed periodically with WD-40 or any
other silicone type spray lube. Failure to do so could result in either the failure of the pull pin
or the rods becoming difficult to remove or reinsert. Note: In harsh environments, such as
areas where roads are either salted or sanded in the winter, spraying of the rods and pull pin
should be performed on a regular basis. Failure to provide this maintenance may void your
warranty. See figure 4. On some occasions the license plate may require a little adjustment to
level. Simply grab frame at arrows (See figure 5) and rotate. If plate is high on left or right side,
rotate high side down slightly and release. Repeat as necessary. Once leveled plate will remain
level.
