I have that plate bracket on the 442.You would have to drill into the H3 bumper. 
Interlock works fine I ended up using 1 piece 1 1/2 inches long in the middle(didnt like snapping it 3 times) snap and its secure. 
final result

Re: Hinged rear licence plate
Good job, should save the plate and frame. 1st thing I bought for mine was a plate frame. It lasted less than 2 hours on the 1st offroad trip. Maybe I'll try something similar.  |
