Not sure if that helps. I would guess that two of the bolts go into the factory plate location to retain the bracket, two of the others hold the plate to the bracket and the locking nuts go on the backs of the plate bolts. The locking nut will screw all the way down, just not by hand, you have to tighten it with tools.

This is only a guess.

Yes, it seems Jeff is sending extra scews, you will only need 4. You will not need to use washers.

Put the holder on the bumper first, then put the license plate on the holder.

Regards

The picture Marcus posted is mounted using the stock hardware. It was the prototype and the hardware had not been delivered yet. But installation is very easy..

1. Mount bracket to the car using two of the supplied screws.
2. Mount the plate to the bracket using the other two screws and lock nuts.

You will need to use a wrench to hold the nuts to tighten them. They have a nylon insert to keep them in place. All supplied hardware in stainless steel.

Reed, Jeff - I won one of these at S2KDays and have not been able to use because I've been wondering about the mounting hardware. Basically, it did NOT come with any. Any chance of shipping some hardware to me? Thanks.

hey guys, the 2 screws used to mount the bracket to the car does not fit securely. it seems like the holes on the bracket is too big for the screws. the screws do fit but doesnt seem secure. i think im going to use washers so its fits better. any idea where i can find a washer to fit the screw?
