Someone from the local PCA region advertised a US Millworks 981 front license plate mount for sale for a good price. I don't have a plate mount, and figured since it was available, I'd pick one up. I haven't had an issue from running no front plate in the past 2.5 years, but I assume eventually, I may. I was out running errands and didn't have time to do a thorough check, but figured "Hey, Surely Porsche wouldn't change the tow hook details from 987s to 981s."
Hahahah.
Is it just me, or does it seem odd that Porsche used right hand threads on the 987 and then switched to left hand threads on the 981 for the tow hooks?
I understand why certain items would be left hand, bike parts associated with the cranks, axle parts, etc... stuff that has to stand up to near constant rotation and change of speed of rotation. But the tow hook? It just sits there.
Oh well, fortunately, you can order the parts separate, so I've ordered just the part that screws into the tow hook receiver.
I must say, the plate frame is a pretty impressive bit of kit. everything is very nicely made on a CNC, and they include 4 different screws to hold the license plate on. They even have a recess around the edge of the plate backer so that modern stamped plates will fit flush.
Unfortunately, I got the standard kit
Not the light weight kit
Yes, you can pay an extra $20 to have a kit that weights 15oz instead of 20oz.
