num plate fixings?

[Alfonz]

Trying to take off my front number plate to transfer to a new bumper, looking at the two screwheads they are circular with three lines in a delta formation.

whats the name of the fixing? or the tool I would need for this screw.


cheers.

left handed screw driver for that one right there,


but on all seriousness could you not just use a normal screw driver and i dont know what a delta formation is

A delta formation whats that?

 

[Alfonz]

delta formation, is a triangle shape. It looks like a star drive but its not star shape. Its a circle with three projections.

 

[Alfonz]

Looks like this but straighter

 

[TimR26]

If in doubt drill it out!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Is it plastic? Snap it off?

 

[Alfonz]

the numberplate is held by two metal screws, like the ms paint picture.

so is this not normal?

 

[Plummer]

Hmm, mine had a normal philips head.

 

[Alfonz]

can i drive my car to the shop to try and find this screw head. or can i face a fine?

A new plate is more than a fiver! Anyway i cant drive around with no plate for a few weeks can I? plus my MOT is due mid feb. Also if i get new plates i still have the problem with the rear plate.

Drill it out. Or buy a new plate.

drilling it out is the only thing i can do i think.

new plate lol

Its a metal screw, how the hell to you knife the fk outta metal? yes this is hard!

Its hard to draw on paint. I'll take a shot of it with the dslr for better pics.


Ive tried haulfords, maplins, b&q, wicks. They just look at me like "wft:lolup:"

I assume its some sort of security screw, which renault charge £50 to unscrew.

 

[Marv-C]

Its probably a rivet. Drill it out or use a hacksaw blade to cut the head off. That's what I did to mine.
