 |

I rode to the VA hospital today to check on my thumb, and when I got home my license plate was gone! The worst part is that I was using the euro plate holder to support a rubber flap that I use in the winter to keep the splash off of my back.
I don't suppose any of fine folks might have one of these that you would be willing to part with?

Which bit are you on about Spike? Is it the metal X-plate that can be bolted to the carbon moulded number plate holder? And normally has a metal extension for the rear reflector?
I lost my plate and the x-plate once on my DB6R that has the same threaded inserts for bolts on the carbon fibre plate holder, exact same as on DB5R.........They can come loose hence I now use loctite threadlock on the 3 bolts that I secure the plate with to the hanger...as I dont use the X-plates myself.....Think I have a spare X-plate though...although the extension for the rear reflector has been cut off |

Yes, that is the part. The reflector on mine was covered up by the mud flap!
I will be using locktite on the screws in the future! In fact, there are some other places that are candidates for the blue stuff!
