General Car Chat / Re: LPG Filler behind number plate?

« on: 14 January 2016, 07:29:20 »

The company that chrisgixer and I got ours from, in Belgium, no longer lists them, and I've been unable to source another.

Hence, I had to fix my original homemade one on the other Omega.

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry about the Renault . I was fortunate to have 3 Omegas in the past a 2.5 followed by a 3.0 Elite and then a 3.2 Elite. All great cars. The Renault is just a 'make do' cheap run around for now.

Shame that these licence plate holders are so hard to find. You can get US style plate flip down holders easily from eBay but not the Euro ones. Oh well, it looks like it may well be DIY then.

If however I find a source I will let you know.

All the best for now.

Stuart.

It's easy enough to do, this is the mk1 version, attached solely the plastic bumper, which does flex a little when the filler is attached. TB has the mk2 version where the filler is attached to a flat metal bracket wealded to the cross member to take the stress off the bumper. But the bumper mounting is fine, it's just that TB is a worrier. 

Note that a tow bar complicates matters somewhat, and the bracket used has no catch to hold it open while the filler is attached, the cap is used for this purpose, while the pump nozzle is attached at a horizontal position if needed, depending on access with tow bar and the opening of the bracket used.

Hi all, I am new to the forum and have had several Omegas over the years although I do not currently own one. I am however building a Cobra replica and came across this post in my search for a flip down license plate holder. I was wondering if anyone on this forum can give me info from where I can buy one similar to that in the photo above?

Thanks in advance,
Stuart.
