Mine is the same as Smed. Some checker plate and the number plate is riveted to the checker plate, there is a hinge attached to the trailer and checker plate. Stops it being smashed by stones and lets it flip up. Lost too many numberplates on the old trailer. George at NT Unique did mine.

Cut a section outa a old mudflap,attach the number plate to that and then attach the mudflap holding tha number plate to your trailor works a treat had mine like this for a long time,hope this idea may help you!

Mine is hinged as well, on cable ties.

Fencing wire and hay band doesn't near the use it did before cable ties were invented!

Mines on the mud guard, stuck down with liquid nails and been there for about 4 years now hasn't looked like moving. Just don't use tech screws or rivets because remember your tyre is on the other side, have seen it done with tech screws before and tyre had 4 deep grooves matching them :rofl:

As far as legal goes, the way I see it your better off having the plate than not at all. :mrgreen:

Bit of rubber & lok tite bolts so the plate swings in the breeze
