License Plate Bracket - Custom Made by Me.
Ben,
Got my GT/CS bracket and installed it the other day.
Nice fit, although you cannot tighten the rear nuts when on my GT/CS bumper as it loosens up the front ones.
Here's some pics of it installed...

Very nice, I had to return the mustang CS to the person I borrowed it from before I finalized my design - so I never had a chance to test it on the bumper. However I would just tighten them until they are snug, just as extra insurance.

Thanks Tony for replying, I took my car in for storage today and didn't have time to reply yet.
wickedstangs I sent you a PM as well, there is a remote chance the GT/CS bracket might fit but that is really doubtful - since the mount is more generic. I would need to see underside shots of the plate area on the 04 Cobra.

Craig's custom bracket... Misleading information?
Hi all,
I just wanted to point out of a few things regarding this new bracket that has come on the scene. I'm not too surprised that this has occurred since I had an amazing idea, but the fact a patent costs more than what I've made since I started this - and my other post started off being a how-to instead of me selling them. Each of my brackets takes me about 1.5 hours from start to finish, so I do not make a whole lot on each bracket. There's not much I can do. But personally I would take Craig's install document with a grain of salt:
http://www.ccmustangbrackets.com/brackets.html
install instructions:
http://www.ccmustangbrackets.com/Bra...structions.pdf
Here's a link to the thread about the trials and complications I had making mine:
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=49099

1) There are sections of his document which are WORD for WORD the same as mine including the disclaimer section. I really doubt his bracket has been tested between 40F-95F and speeds up to 225km/h since that's the same rating as mine, which is all from USER REPORTS and my own.
2) When researching my bracket as you know I started off with bending the aluminum without heat - all documented in my thread - . I came across a way to bend aluminum safely and even then the max radius bend for aluminum of this thickness should be no more than 25degrees - HIS IS 90!!!... Unless he is using some weird process I sure hope his does not fall of peoples cars.
UPDATE: I received a reply from him, and he said he uses a different grade of aluminum for his brackets which allows tighter bends As for resistance to corrosion - I've read the aluminum I use resists very well as for his I'm not sure.
By whichever bracket you wish, however I know mine has been tested by many. I do this in my spare time, and every bracket I make is hand made using 6061-T6 grade aluminum with 18.8 stainless steel parts.
I have sold over 75 brackets and I haven't received any negative remarks - the thread I started last spring has 15,500 posts with over 260 replies

Ben,
I wanted you to know that I am "winter testing" your bracket, which I have been extremely satisfied with since I purchased it. I plan to take some photos of it within the next few weeks, now on its second winter in Cincinnati.
You DEFINITELY have produced a great item for S197 owners - thank you!!

I was planning to make a V6 bracket as it's very similar to the GT bumper (just slightly different in size). But the demand seemed higher for the CS in which I've sold very few.
I might still make a V6 one - as there seemed to be about 5 or 6 people interested. I'll post details if I make a v6 one.
