    '67 Front License Bracket ( Rectangular Type)

    Regarding the front license plate bracket, the following statement is found on page 81 of the '67 TIM/JG: "It also has TWO ( my caps) stamped holes approximately 3/8" square to accept white plastic nuts for license plate mounting and A ( meaning one, my cap) round hole toward the center for a black rubber bumper." I have several questions:

    1) The repo brackets as well as several service 3878898 brackets on ebay with GM P/N labels still attached, all have FOUR stamped square holes for license plate attachment, and TWO round holes for bumpers. Are they different from factory brackets?

    2) If four square holes for plastic nuts is correct, do I install plastic nuts and/or screws in all four holes or just the top two?

    3) If two rubber bumper holes is correct, do I just install a bumper in the lower hole?

    4) Is there even such a thing as a TFP front license bracket? Did all cars leave the factory with one, or were they dealer supplied in the states that require a front license plate?

    Thanks

    i have several originals (i took them off cars years ago). all have FOUR square punch outs for the plastic nuts. i believe the size of the punch out is a small one for the 63,64 and 65 vets, larger for the later midyears. all my originals have TWO round punch outs, one top and one bottom(both centered). i'd use 2 plastic nut and one rubber bumper(on the bottom round punch out). mike

        The original on my wife's 67 had the 4 square holes and 2 round holes (she's the 2nd owner} with the rubber bumper in the bottom round hole and nothing in the upper.

          A "dip painted" NOS part. See the runs. It had the older Blue label (probably from 1970-1975 as GM 3878898 from Hartway in Medina, NY).

          It also has the small manufacturers mark on the back, like the 6th ed., 1966 TIM&JG shows. I would not expect to see that marking on the repros., nor would I expect to see it on later GM service parts.

              i wouldn't expect to see the manufacturers logo stamped on the back of original 63,64 nor 65 front license plate brackets. mike

                  Can anyone post a pix of the bumper(s) for the front plate bracket?

                      Yes thanks, sort of. Do you have a shot of the back side of the button or can you describe it?
                      Is it just a big flat push in bumper like the glove box bumpers?
