Yes Dorthy...The "VK3" Front Licence Bracket Does Exsist

It would last about 2 minutes of an arabian desert trip, much prefer to use the original mounts and "form" the licence plate to the shape of the bumper by frontal impact with the sharp side of a dune

Makes sense to me... Did your rig come with the front bracket..??

My front plate looks like new, since it's been in the rear door storage compartment in the back of my H3 for 22 months. I still have the 2 screws to hold the plate on.

No, just the 2 original screw mounts. The new 07's currently in the showroom have the new mount though not designed for dersert service in my opinion!

Nothing for nothing, this is what I did to my rig to raise the front license plate about half way higher:

- bought an off-the-shelf plastic backing bracket
- attached it near the bottom to the two existing license plate retainers
- attached plate and frame to the bracket
This gives the frame more rigidity and the frame as well and moves the plate a little higher so I need to worry less about losing the plate in the wild.
