Trailer License Plate Mount Option

Do you have a license plate that hangs low on your trailer? Do you wish it was up higher and illuminated?
Well I did and do! There used to be a company called Plate Savers that made this item. They have since gone out of business and no longer offer their product.

I have been redoing a trailer and decided that I am going to make my own. I have access to a fancy CNC machine and I am currently drawing it up and designing my own version in CAD.

I will be making mine out of ABS black plastic and will be testing it shortly. I would be happy to share the files and blueprints, or to possible make a few if there is any interest.

The plate mount will be similar to the awful paint image (JPG) I will attach. I am finalizing the CAD drawings currently.

Please feel free to tell me if you are interested or if you think this is stupid!

Here is the old one



New horrible drawing...

Taking measurements for prototype....

 

Hmm...I guess I am the only one that has issues with low plates.

 

Well I made two prototypes by hand to test out my design.
I am going to have one made on my friend's CNC machine.
Here is the prototype.
My solution to a problem, that only I seem to have.
