Install the Grill Mount

    Take note of the parts listed above and make sure you have everything included in your kit. Scout out an area on your grill where you would like the license plate located and temporarily set the grill mount bracket against the grill to visualize placement. Take note of any sensors or lights that may be blocked by the license plate and make the necessary adjustments.

    Locate the two, 2" L stainless steel countersunk screws, install a black cone washers onto each of them, then place them through the oblong holes on the grill mounting bracket.

    Thread on the two (2) aluminum J-hook nuts just enough so that they're flush with the bottom of the stainless screws.

    If your grill mesh is rather tight, then place the 'toes' of the J-hook nuts in through the grill first and pivot them into place.

    With the J-hook nuts set where they need to be, apply slight pressure to them by pulling on the grill bracket while evenly tightening them against the grill. This keeps them from spinning while you're tightening the screws.

    Thread the M10 SS Flanged Screw onto the grill mounted bracket and leave about a 1/8" gap.

    If you would prefer the plate to be spaced away from the grill a bit further, we have also included a .25" thick aluminum spacer to make the adjustment.
