I care!! You mind sharing how you made it!!!

 

Okay, let's see if I can improve on post #8
Here is a picture of the bracket without the plate.
Attachment 3623
It's not the best picture, but if you look you should be able to see how it's attached.
The red circles are where I wrapped the heavy duty velcro straps. The center is wrapped horizontally around the center post. The sides are around the black plastic on the car. The green circle is where I put the felt because I'm sure that at speed this can move the 1/4" to touch the paint. That's all it might move though because it surprised me how solid it is.
I hope this helps.
One side benefit the plateholder will touch the ground before the bottom of the car (a forward curbfeeler).

 

I kind of had mine like that as well, except with Zip Ties, but once you put a front spoiler on the car, you can't do that anymore. :-(

I'm interested for a bracket for an '07 V6 (pending the price)

 

I would like one, too- if the price is good... i'm getting an 07- if that changes the shape of the bracket- also, i noticed there were a lot of people going back and forth as to which materials were better... maybe you can build both of them- like a special order type thing- if someone prefers one material over the other you can make it special for them- and of course adjust the price accordingly... my opinion is that the bracket is going to be just fine- so the cheaper parts would be just fine by me.... thanks for posting your idea- its a really great one!

 

knucklehead_11 - Since the v6 design is not exactly the same, it has that indent. I'll have try and peak at one at a Ford Dealer, unless someone wants to take pictures for me (Like the measurements I requested above).

05MustangSB - When you say "if the price is good". Well I should know week of July 9th, the final price. But I aim aiming for $35US. Steel would be heavier and put more force on the front bumper.

Update, I went to the Post office with an approx. size & weight (based off the raw materials) and shipping will be about $6US (I'll have to get a final price once I throw a bracket in a box).

 

Okay. If you still don't have one designed by the time I get my car I'll see if I can get some measurements for you. It'll be a while before I get my car though should you'll prolly get 'em before me.

 

Sorry it took an extra day!

As a proviso, I used a paper tape measure and eyeballed things, since I did not have something like a caliper to get more precision. I did check these numbers against an '06 that was on the dealership lot, and they matched. Assuming '05 and '06 are the same, it should mean your brackets would work with the '07s.

1 - 2 5/16" (5.8 cm)
2 - 1/4" (1 cm)
3 - 3 1/4" (8 cm)

Hopefully, I did correctly count the 'cm' marks. If not, please just convert from 'in' to 'cm'.

 

cant wait man...should have about $40 next friday and will send the order before cause it take paypal like 4-5 days to send the payment

 

Thanks dude, You said you checked the numbers against an '06? Or an '07 ?

No worries I use inches for everything I only use metric for driving distances

Thanks RedDragon777, why does it take 4-5 days though? I've never received money via paypal so I'm not 100% how I go about doing that.

 

or i can send a money order but it takes 4-5 days to verify the funds but i will send a money order if you want..but i prefer PayPal because it is easy an more secure

 

Both an '06 and '07...

You can make your own , total price for parts around $8.
I posted this last week.

 

what about mounting it in the grill over the pony

 

I read your method, sounds neat (I have a welder so this wouldn't be a problem). However you drill holes in the bumper, mine doesn't require any holes.

I agree you could buy the parts from HD (like I did. however I have since found a cheaper source for the Aluminum) and make yourself (I spent 3 hours making a template and getting all the angles perfect to my liking).

RedDragon777 - Paypal is fine, you'll be my first transaction (receiving money).

 

I'm pretty sure that was a joke, but a funny one! There's no way I'd cover the pony on my car! If someone wants to take it off for a custom grille that's cool, but to cover it with a front plate, no way!

 

Yes sir , this is true , but they are drilled that No One will ever see them or notice. just could not bring myself to drill 2 holes in the front bumper of a 31K dream car. I also made sure that the brace/Plate would never run against in any way on the body. Your`s looks just as good , Maybe better for those who do not know how to put in tapping screws.

 

AARRGGG!!!!!!

<Starts crying>

 

ya i was kidding lol did you see the photoshoped picture of your car hahaha sorry it was 6am when i came up with that
