Durable License Plate Mount For Trailer
 ✖  |
Doug Johnson, Aberdeen, Wash.: “No matter what kind of trailer you’re using, if the license plate is mounted down low under the taillights, you’re eventually going to break the plastic bracket and/or the frame holding it in place. After 60 years of having this problem, I finally came up with a simple solution using a standard door hinge welded to a piece of flat steel bar. Use a couple of bolts to attach the hinge to the trailer frame and drill two holes in the bar to match the license plate. Now when the license hits the ground or an object, it will just swing back out of the way and then return to hanging straight when clear.”
