Anyone have a picture of the late BJ8 LP holder. I believe PO straightened the arms on the holder. I am thinking from where the plate in laying in the picture, keep the mounting surface where it it and bend the whole assembly straight up from there.

Marv, BJ8s for North America from body number 79900 had the license plate bracket shown in Healey Nut's photos, but there was also another bracket where the license plate was actually mounted:

Do you have any more pictures, from the inside of the bumper. I rearranged mine years ago and am having trouble trying to get it back to original!

I've always hated the way the '66-'67 BJ8"s had the plate mounted on the bumper. Another reason to love the 1965 BJ8 stylings.......
