Can someone please advise how the front bumper plinth should be fitted. Mine just has self tappers going through into a spring type fixing however I am sure this is not correct. I did look on the Rimmers site however it is unclear to me?

If you mean the plinth that the number plates mounts on it should have long studs, There are then 2 shaped spacers that fit inside the bumper for the nuts to pull up tight to,
The badge plinth is held on by small spring clips on pegs which are part of the casting.

Yes they are 1/4" unf I think and tacked or welded in position. They have a flat mushroom type head on them to allow the number plate to sit flat IIRC
Thanks Ian, I will search the various sites and see if I can buy some. Failing this I will have to get some studs and tack them back on and grind it off flush. This also explains why the plinth rubber kept coming out as it obviously wasn't tight enough.
Looking at that photo Malc I can't see any other holes for the number plate to be fixed? So how does that number plate fix to the plinth? Is it stuck on with double sided tape?
I think that I am either going to obtain another one or try to tack weld some studs in. The later option is obviously going to be cheaper, Ian indicated that the studs are 1/4" does anyone know the length?
