Rear light and license plate holder?

Post by ivaldes1 » Sun Sep 19, 2021 1:39 am

So this is what I have but I need to figure out how to make something work for a rear light and license plate holder for this Y carrier. Suggestions are welcome.

You could lengthen the two upper bolts on the Y carrier and build a bracket that is attached there, or use a piece of bar stock to be attached between the tabs on the rim of the wheel. Or try to find a way to attach your bracket to the bottom of the frame on the left side in such a way that you can still see the license plate.

Put a 1 1/12" X 1/8" bar across the two unused ears on the spare and bolt it in place with two 3/16" short bolts and use lock nuts to hold the bar in place.

That way one wrench will fit all the 5/8th inch bolts, but you will need two wrenches.

Drill holes in the bar for the light and license plate bolts.

See the latest update on Hay Wagon to Speedster Project viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13134&p=182333#p182333 I built a mounting bracket out of angle iron.
