Can someone please tell me the dimensions of a Victorian Club rego plate.

I'm thinking of buying a backing plate from mini spares for the back of my van and am not if it will be too high.

Thanks

Club Plate is the same dimensions as standard size normal issue plate. Just looked at link, that will be for pommy plates that are the size of our Euro plates so doubt it will be right. Standard plates here are 14.5 x 5.25 inches (roughly 37 x 13 cms). That one is 21.5 x 5.5 inches (roughly 54 x 14 cms) so too long and too high unless you want it to fit inside that area.

Thanks, it did seem it might be tight and look a bit odd. I will make a replacement plate holder and get it painted to match the van colour.

Cheers

Why not use some polished aluminium sheet of suitable thickness and affix the club plate to that.
This is how I handled my ACT club plate.
