    Just sent you a PM about a full plate bracket. Can you add me to the list please?

    Thx!

    Got my small bracket in and put it on. Looks great! Thanks!

    A word of advice, it would probably be good to just include washers or get screws with larger heads. They're just barely big enough to hold my plate on.

    I have seen 2 other states where the plate holes are larger than most. Maybe Texas plates have changed. I use an older Texas plate for test fits and the screws seem ok on that one. I know these screws are fine with the larger brackets since they use 4 screws. I have a hard time finding the larger head stainless screws in bulk at a price reasonable enough to include them. For what its worth washers are roughly $1.19 for 6 at the hardware store. After I use up my current inventory (around 70 screws) I will again look for ones with larger heads. I think I have 5 small brackets remaining.

    I'll send you a pic. Yeah, Texas plates have changed, they're now just plain black-on-white like they were when I was a kid. Still much happier with the look than that big, bulky stock bracket.

    This is the one I have. Got it on a 1995 Z28 I bought from a Navy guy a few years ago. Home Depot screws on it. May be a hair larger head than what I include with the brackets. I actually use the ones like you have on my personal small bracket. That way I can use a penny to remove the plate at the car wash.

    Approximately 70% of all sales ship to California. California, like Virginia, have small holes to mount thus the current screws are a good fit.

    Just a note that I am now working on a new quality grade 6061 aluminum QUIKFIX seat riser design that, while priced in between the cheap basic round bar with holes drilled and the much more expensive cnc billet machined seat risers, should be more appealing and more reasonably priced. New tools and materials have been ordered. I will post pictures here before I run a new ad.

    New product teaser ad. Expected release 03/21/19
    NEW 3rd gen Tacoma QuikFix seat risers. $45 for 1 seat. $85 for 2 seats. Price includes hardware and shipping.
    Made from gr 6061 aluminum with gr 10.9 bolts. Contoured to fit the shape of the seat anchor. The surface is
    polished and prepared for you to paint if desired. The square shape provides a more secure surface area than
    simple round spacers. Adds approximately 15/16" to rear seat height to level seat and ease back tension.

    UPDATE: I will have 136' (over 1600") of aluminum material, 400 screws (both stainless screws and grade 10.9 bolts), and some upgraded cutting tools later this week. Production switch will be "on" next weekend. That is for small brackets, full size brackets and new seat risers.

    Are you still making these? I have the original, but I want one that I don't have to take off to go through the car wash. Thanks!

    Are the full size brackets still pretty low profile? Do they utilize all four mounting screws on the license plates? Also, safe for car washes? Thanks!

    Due to a decrease in sales I have temporarily suspended manufacturing both styles of license plate brackets. I have a new machine ordered that should be up and running in 3-4 weeks. I may run a few more brackets at that time to build a little inventory. I appreciate all those that have purchased and provided great feedback.
