I bought an 80 and 84 Mustang new and they both had galvanized steel front plate mounts held in place with hex head screws. I also bought my 1986 GT convertible new and it has the plastic front plate mount held in place with hex head screws as well (like the ones that are included to hold the plate to the mount). I believe the dealer installed the front plate mount and some dealers may have used screws instead of the rivets they came with. I think all 85-93 Mustangs came with a plastic front plate mount.

I worked at a Ford dealer from 82 til 96 and yes the dealer installed the front plate holder. The big plastic rivets required a huge rivet gun with a special tip for plastic rivets and alot of dealers didn't spend the money for one and used any means available to attach the plate holder. Doug

Thanks everyone for the replies on this! The question was asked because I buoght a 1993 coupe from the orig owner and the front plate mount was mounted by the dealer to the car with the bolts that are for mounting the plate to the bracket. Now I know the answer .........Rivits it is!! Thanks for the help!! Rich
