Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I try to install the bracket in my 2004 40th anniversary, however, the expanding nut doesn't fit. The Porsche dealership claims that is the correct parts, however, they can't explain why my car holes at the license plate location is not big enough for the nut. any thought how to use this expanding nut. thank you. the license plate base with the part number for the expanding nut. the license plate base with the part number for the expanding nut. expanding nut. the hole at the rear license plate location is too small for the expanding nut.

POST 2Original post

One option is to head to NAPA or Advance or O'Reilly and get a smaller expansion nut. They come in a lot of sizes. No one will know it isn't a Porsche part.

POST 3Original post

They look different then the expanding nuts I used which were P/N 999 507 040 40. The P/N you have is listed as fitting in the NLA license plate bracket.

POST 4Original post

OP it looks like you have a front plate holder. The rear is the one post above 👆

The plate holder in the picture I posted is NLA, it has been replaced with the plastic plate holder in the OP's picture. I think this is how the expanding nuts were mixed up by the dealer.

POST 6Original post

Don’t mount the rear plate with the dealer crap. Use these. https://www.backpages.********.com/g...s/LPMSTORE.gif

Or you could just take back the wrong ones the Porsche dealer supplied to you and ask for the correct ones.

What's up with your sketchy hyperlink? I hope no one here would think a link to a gif, at Backpages, whatever that is, is legit. Spoiler alert folks, it's not.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was able to sand the expanding nut in order to fit inside the square hole at the rear bumper. It looks not bad The expanding nut inside the top right corner square hole after sanding the nut. The license base plate looks not bad. I'm happy with the first simple project with my 911.
