The idea is original and the craftsmanship is nice. The fact that it hangs and will move in wind and with momentum I can see why most people would shy away from it. I personal think that since the license plate needs to be on the truck 100% of the time I really rather just mount it permanently. I don't want to have to relocate it if I need to tow something. Being that it means so much to you I'll give you one gold star cause you took the time to post something original. Sorry the general forums community hasn't flooded you with praise. Hope your ego will recover. Sorry you have an issue with how the moderator wants you to do something. Most of us like the job they do and the general atmosphere of the site.

Ya a piece of rectangle stock 1"x 1 1/2" that is about 4 inch's long worked perfectly, not tight but not too loose. I bought a 1 inch drill bit so the pintle hook pin could slide through and hold it in place. Should have bought a 1 1/32 inch drill bit but too late now.

Sorry, not legal in Wisconsin anyway. The law reads: must be attached "firmly and rigidly".
WI Stat: 341.15 (2):
Registration plates shall be attached firmly and rigidly in a horizontal position and conspicuous place. The plates shall at all times be maintained in a legible condition and shall be so displayed that they can be readily and distinctly seen and read. Any peace officer may require the operator of any vehicle on which plates are not properly displayed to display such plates as required by this section

Cucvnut: What is that plate holder you have? Is that a "tailgate"? That is crazy!

If the science of physics is not good enough I suppose I could post a video.
Have a nice day.
Oh it was never about "ego" or the desire for an "at-a-boy" It was just about the lack of manners, and making assumptions and not asking questions.

It is about ego for you. You made the effort to post something trying to prove your point and didn't just move along in life. Here's the facts, it will move. Not just up and down but side to side. Oh you forgot potholes and bumps in the road too. This would give a LEO plenty of reason to pull you over. Most of us rather just mount it in a standard manner within the law. It's funny to see you join another thread just cause you got your feelings hurt. Lighten up or move along please.

Yes please post a video. I do not trust anyone on the internet. Especially big math/ physics problems.

Cucvnut: Nope, don't need more photos. I like it. That is where I think the plate should be. I bet it does not get wrapped up in weeds and brush when you are off road. I bet you have never been suprised because the plate was missing or because a cop did not like the way you had it displayed. Stop it . That is crazy, don't you want to be different and attract attention?

A different way to "hang" a plate, and I like his ingenuity, but we could all do without the bellyachin'. Oh, almost forgot, "have a nice day".
