    I just got a new front bar installed, and i cant see where to attach the number plate? Its a NSW slimline one, and it just doesn't seem to fit anywhere. Can someone please post a pic of how they've managed to attach the plate on a similarly modified front bar?

    Here's what I did...

    I have 2 90° angled metal brackets that are bolted on to the underside of the front intake. The number plate is then attached to this and protudes from the front bar by about 5mm.

    That way the number plate and brackets can be removed and you won't see the bolt holes.

    Here's a pic:

    that is a nice front bar MikeZ

    however the pic makes it look like you've got HUGE camber issues at the front! :LOL:

    It's a Bomex bar

    and the Zed did have big camber issues until I fitted some adjustable upper arms and tension rods.

    No probs now! :zlove:

    Hey Mike I just checked out your profile, I love the interior, the silver looks so modern, I think you have just inspired me. :thumbsup: umm the other pic isn't half bad either. :cool:

    You could hinge it in the IC hole. So when you go quick it folds back into the opening.

    just get an old antenna motor and wire it up so the number plate slides dow

    n or hinges away. transporter styles.

    omg, all great ideas

    keep them coming guys

    in regards to the spring idea, you could set the tension so it folds away at a certain wind speed, namely 90km/hr or higher
