Triumph TR6 - American spec number plate plinth

I am looking for an American spec number plate plinth

Hi Simon
Moss in North America sells them. You can probably get it through a supplier in the UK. (As I understand it, Moss went out of business in the UK). I do not know where the NEW plates are made. Maybe a UK supplier can back source it to the US.
Good luck

You could try Rimmer Bros, they're a little closer to your home. Tel (01522) 568000. They should be able to supply you with anything you need.
Best of luck, Stephen

When did UK Moss go out of business?

My appologies...Moss did not go out of business. They where in extreme financial trouble last year and where up for sale. Moss US (California) bought what was left and are the current owner (parent company). Moss UK is alive and well. When I last heard about Moss UK
( about 1 year ago)I was told they went out of business and where up for sale...Moss US obviously bought them and kept it going. I called my supplier of British parts (a Moss distributor) and he told me this information today. So you could say " I am behind the times". SO LET THE RUMORE STOP HERE. Infact Moss US ended up buying about 9 companies in total...all little parts of Moss International. You can see the history of Moss at there web page <<www.mossmotors.com>> Kinda like..we owned... we sold... we own again
So Simon, disregard my first reply and call Moss UK. They will have it...They are "British Motor Heritage" approved.
I will go one step further( in an attempt to rectify my mistake).
Simon here are the MOSS part numbers for the Commission Number Plate( since you did not say year of your 6..I give them all to you). I did not see the plate in Rimmer Bros catalogue.
TR250,1969---808-150
1970-72------808-140
1973-75------808-160
1976---------808-170
Again this is on there web page. There is an "800" (805) number for as they put it overseas. Interestingly enough no number or address for Europe.
P.S. The plates where stamped with alphanumeric characters not engraved.
Good luck

Simon,
I assumed that you were refering to the assembly - the plinth (A block upon which the moldings of an architrave or trim are stopped at the bottom. Webster)
- which holds the lamps that illuminate the rear license plate. If this is so, the following are Rimmer Bros. part numbers.

CR/CF1 - Bumper mounted - Whole assembly - 151954

CR/CF1 - Rear valance (like my '74)- 2 parts, the clear bit that holds the bulb - DRC276. And the black bit that seals the clear bit to the valance - 632002

I don't have a Moss catalog with me, so in all fairness, please give them a call to compare prices.
Happy shopping, Stephen
Stephen

Thanks chaps for the information
