    Default License Plate Bracket and Battery Tray

    Hi, I don't know if I'm in the right forum but here it goes. I'm looking for the Ford part numbers for the Battery tray and license plate bracket on my 1984 GT vert. I think I sourced the battery tray but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find the right license plate bracket. My bracket is apparently metal and all I can find is '85 and up plastic. Original numbers would help to try to source the correct parts. Also if I cannot find the correct bracket, will the '85 plastic unit work. Thanks, Troy.

    You want an E4ZZ-17A385-B bracket. Green Sales shows one in stock.

    I have a metal one as well if you are interested. I have had a few early and late 1984s so I also am not sure which one it fits. I can't fathom why anyone in the universe would want an ugly tag on the front of such a pretty bumper but that's what makes the world go around. To each their own. This one came from when I lived in Ohio which requires a front tag and I removed it in the parking lot of the dealer because I was concerned someone I knew would see me in it with a front tag on it on the way home before I had a chance to take it off. I just don't recall which car it was from I had a car there @20 years and had maybe 6 cars and not a single one ever had a front tag. Never was stopped once. But the law is the law and if a tag is required then you should have one. I get it. I was just prepared to pay the fine, not whine like today's kids because they don't get their way.

    Front rag is required here as well .
    I have taken them off as soon as I had possession of said vehicle .
    I have been stopped twice since I started driving 40 plus years ago .
    Never had a ticket for it either .
    I just politely ask , " which end of the car did you pull me over from ? " they say " why from the rear "
    I say exactly , and all the information is there on the rear ?
    Yes sir , they say , and have a nice day.

    Pretty standard part for the battery tray now and it is reproduced. I know the early 79 Tangerine car we have has a D8BB-10748 engineering number on the tray. Part numbers all have the group number 10732 in them. Maybe they added the extra tray tie down to the frame rail?

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys, the reason I want the license plate bracket, is that according to my Marti documents the car came with it ( and we are required to have a front plate). The battery tray was done by some hack before I bought the car. Not that the car will be 100% original but I'd like some of the smaller pieces back in place. Thanks for all your help, Troy.
