Bridge Plate

[aceventura2225]

I see where the bottom of the bridge plate mounts to on my m1008 (a L bracket) but what does the top of it mount to, or how is it supported. It seems like the numbers and the "C" would fall of if i hit a pot hole.

If you have the correct quantity of movable numbers, the spring-like tension of these holds the "C" plate in place, and it in turn holds the numbers in place.

There is a small steel strap that goes across the back of the bridge weight classification plate, which is held in place by two bolts. The brush guard is sandwiched between this strap and the plate itself, securing it to the vehicle.

HTH,
