Hi all, I've got myself an oem licence plate bracket for my oem front bumper but the bumper doesn't have the extra holes to suit so looking for the measurements of where the holes need to be, currently just have one bolt going through one of the fog light mounting holes, Thanks in advance.

Your OEM bracket is for a winch bumper. For that OEM bumper the plate is mounted in the middle, where the OEM holes are.
 
Hello,

The license plate bracket has three mounting holes. As mentioned above, it is intended for the winch bumper.

There is a way around this for the bumper you have.

The bracket has two holes that are next to each other. If you put the bracket on the right (driver's side in RHD trucks) side of the bumper, these holes line up with the ones for the fog light. One hole remains unused, but this is not a problem if you tighten the bolts enough.

If you mount a fog light over the bracket, it remains firmly in place.

This is how it looks.

Hope this helps.

Yes I understand it is for the winch bumper that is why I am wanting the measurements so I can drill the holes to mount it in the correct location,

Hello,

There are three holes in the bracket. Two of them are adjacent.

The distances are as follows. Note that this applies for the right-hand side.

HOLE 1 <--- 1 3/4 in. ---> HOLE 2 <--- 5 3/4 in. --->HOLE 3
HOLE 1 <--- 45 mm ---> HOLE 2 <--- 145 mm --->HOLE 3

Distances are measured between the centers of the holes.

Hope this help.

does your bumper not have the fog light holes? i can give you a measurement for those two holes if that helps.
My bumper does have the 2 holes for the fog lights but wanting reference measurements from them to where the licence plate bracket holes would be on a winch bumper so I can drill the holes to mount the licence plate bracket to my non winch bumper, hope this makes sense, thanks

Thanks, Where are these measurements referenced from?

Hello,

The measurements are referenced from hole center to hole center, as closely as possible without having to disassemble the bracket.

Hope this helps.
