Havard Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Tried to take off my rear number plate today. It was held in with two plastic screws and I obviously snapped them trying to get them out...... So what do I do now. I was going to drill out the old screws and drill holes in the new plate but then I got around to thinking about sticking the plate back on! Can this be done and if so what adhesive can you use that will 1) Not let the plate fall of in mid drive! 2) Be able to remove it should the need arise! Thanks H.

Ian R Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have my rear number plate fixed on will velcro tape. So I can swap between my legal space and not so legal spaced plate with little effort in 2 years not had either fall of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Paul ive got a roll of plate adhesive stuff. Works brilliantly, sticks without the plate falling off and yet when you peel it off it doesnt leave a residue or anything. Ill give it you next time i see you if you want.

Ive got it sat in the shed here in preston so you can grab it then if you want, may come meet you 2 at the docks, unless its a "private" meeting that is, the docks is a renowned "dogging" area after all.
