Call Moss. They still sell them, to my knowledge.
BTW, even in states where front and rear plates are
required, British style plates that match your "real"
plate number are OK on the front.
Antique cars in most states are allowed to use antique
plates, and one applies to one's DMV for the paperwork
to match the plates one wishes to use. The British
style plates fall under this law (at least in Virgina).
Just to be safe, I have both offical plates bolted on
the rear in a "sandwich". If some cop wants to make an
issue of the unusual plate, and my xeroxed copy of the
regulation (folded into my registration case) does not
settle the issue, I can always change plates on the spot.
No one has ever questioned me in over 10 years, and I have
obtained the same vanity plate ("2LOW2C") to match my British
look-alike plate (from Moss) in each of the states of FL, NC,
NH, MA, and VA.
Scientists and Engineers try to make the future some sort of theme park.
Humanist Intellectuals wish the future did not exist.
Ecologists point out that the future may not exist, after all.
