MODEL R129 FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET
The front license plate bracket for the R129 is now placed in the trunk. This has been done for styling reasons since many states do not require a front
license plate.
If a front license plate bracket is required by law in your state, or if the customer wants to install a front plate, the bracket is to be installed according to
the work instructions No. 248 group 88.
