License plate bracket - where to find?
I've finally gotten a license plate that fits, but now it's too small.
It seems I need one of these;   Is this something they came with from the factory? Aftermarket accessory? This thread on CF mentiones a machined aluminium version, which smells a bit like Carter. Is it the case that such an item can be sourced? Quote:

Good luck finding one.
It is factory, ZR-1 only. I've talked to Carter about making these. He said he could, but I don't think he ever has. |

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
Such bracket wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate for anyone with access to some common tools and material like aluminum or plastic(?).
Possible sources where I would try... Jason at Vette2Vette Mid America Motorworks Eckler's Corvette Central That said, MANY locations sell commercial license plate frames with their adverts on them, e.g., mine is from Deal's Gap: "Tail of the Dragon" a sort of souvenir. Hope this helps.

Re: License plate bracket - where to find?
Much appreciated, gentlemen. Not a frequent on-the-shelf part, it seems. As with most Z-specific stuff.
Guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for one. Not sure why a previous owner would have discarded the original one. Anyone parting up a Z on the forum these days?

Thanks Kenny, I'll try to get in touch with BigDave.
Mirrock didn't have any. Apparantly they are in demand these days, and rather scarce.
