The Cal-look Lounge

Just wondering how you run a front number plate with T bars?
Down here its illegal not to have a front plate so any ideas or pictures would be appreciated.

Two collars setted on the plate and slipped on each t-bars, really simple  ;)

I use P-clips on the top corners, easy for it to "just fall off officer"...

The rear can attach the same as the front. Bracket on the T bar to hold the frame....works good in the burnout box...

tee bars are great.

   HAHA, NICE!

I made a bracket that out of 20mm electrical conduit with 2 25mm pieces of conduit welded on to the ends of it that slip over the top of the bars cheap and simple ;) worked so well my brother nicked it for his 67

simple i don't use front plate  ;D ;D ;D

Now that looks cool, funny but I have just brought an old post up regarding buggy bars.
Where did you get yours from, I could mount my plate to that!
Thanks

I took a pics of this nice setup on a danish callooker at SCC few years ago.

I did mine by making a bracket up that bolt underneath the floor of the wheel well. It can be easily removed when i dont want it there, and fitted for road use. :)

Not the best pictures of the bracket, but they give you the idea. If your intrested i can put some pictures of the bracket up later. :)

i've got my buggy bar from the shop where i go to take parts , they're the one you can find in every vw shop  ;)

and yes you can put a plate on  ;)

Wow what a beautiful car

RIP356,

I did have better photos than this, but my laptop died a few months back and I forgot I'd lost them. :(

Anyway I'm sure you'll get the idea. Basically there's 4 holes in the spare wheel well, and this frame (see below) bolts underneath using some finishing washers and bolts, (so it doesn't snag the spare wheel, and to finish it nice).

Hope this helps.

i know its late to the party LOL   :D

here's what i did to my daily driver , a 1972 late model "economy" beetle

kinda hard to see but,  what i did was get some form of steel flat thats about 4-5mm thick and half an inch wide 

drilled holes for the platenumber ,  and have it long enough that you can bend an L type of tab on the end  (drill the Tbar's side)   
fasten with a nut and bolt (allen head)  and you have yourself a plate holder you can angle how you want , sloped down or sloped up,
me i fastend it to angle close to the same as the Tbar itself

another shot

Is it your car? Happened to walk by it Friday evening two weeks ago.
Really nice! Nice work with the plate holder as well.

on my 68 club car I never ran a front plate till I started getting fix it tickets, so I took two early bug bumper overiders support tubes and bolted them to the bottom of the spare tire well,  leaving the 90 degree angled end sticking forward, then I bolted the bottom two holes of the license plate to them.  there were already two drainage holes in the bottom of the spare tire well already there, so it was bolt on

I was surprised that no one had mentioned this.

I used this method on my '67. Some small differences though. I used some large fender washers on both top and bottom of the spare tire well to help distribute the weight. I also bent the ends that the plate bolted to so the plate would lean back some instead of being straight up and down.
