Dave, call me a balance freak with a rather high lip at the end of the
driveway. The plate kept hitting so ...... cut some aluminium sheet, bent,
folded, drilled mounting holes and powder-coated. The end result was a
no-scrape, centered license plate that has to be dropped at one corner to
get the hand crank in. Still takes only a few minutes to adjust the valves
;>)
