Hi,
I want to get a nice pressed metal rear plate but think the size is a bit of an oddity. Does anyone know the right size to perfectly fit?
Currently I have a sqaure plate fitted by the Dealers, this has been butchered top and bottom with a carving knife/axe/jigsaw/gnawed by a goat/or something similar!!
I see german/french style plates on craigsplates. Has anybody seen anything similar like a jap plate anywhere?
Rear plate size = 375 x 165 mm 
Keep in mind that they are not legal…
In old money they are 13" x 6.5"
They are legal, using motorcycle size letters.
The legality of pressed metal plates is questionable at best - from what I can tell there is only one company that claims to meet the required standards, and even then their wording hasn’t totally convinced me - just make sure you do your research though.
Pressed metal plates are not legal on an MX5. They are for vehicles only with a plate pre “k” [1971]
I ordered a eunos-size acrylic plate from craigsplates. £22.49 posted.
Still illegal ‘show use’ plate, but what can I do?!!
