Daston Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi guys Got a new set of plates and the only option was a 4x4 plate for the rear. This is to big and I was wondering what the best way is to trim it down to size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Haggas Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Very easy.Measure on BOTH sides where you want the cut line. Hold a straight edge,pref a metal rule (if you doubt your skills double sided tape the rule to the number plate ).Using a stanley knife with a new blade score a line on the number plate.Re score this 3-4 times.Put the rule the opposite side and do the same thing.Using a pair of pliers holding them close to the line,snap off the unwanted piece,sand smooth to finish. Just be careful with the first cut,good pressure and a firm grip.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using a saw but that sounds far easier and cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
