Rear axle 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Installing a (side mount) license plate. This style is held on by the axle but the part that the axle runs through is about 3/4" thick. That makes the stock axle too short.

Any suggestions???<br><br>Post edited by: BlownStar, at: 2006/04/11 23:58

If it's one of those generic HD chrome billet ones this is what I did.

The rear axle is hollow. Use a tap and thread the inside of the axle (can't remember the size but it's around 1/2&quot. Buy a SS bolt and washer and 'Bob's your Uncle&quot;.

In other words you don't bolt the sidemount with the existing axle bolt.
