Alpen Outdoor Flip Up Winch License Plate Mounting Bracket Number Plates Holder 120 Rotation Access Stainless Steel Fit for Off-Road 4WD

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this flip plate fit my Australian number plate?

Yes, this Alpen Outdoor Flip Up Winch License Plate bracket is designed for universal fit and supports standard Australian number plates with hole spacing of 165mm and 210mm. Most Australian vehicles use one of these spacing measurements, so it should suit your 4WD or pickup truck perfectly. If you're unsure about your specific vehicle's hole spacing, we recommend measuring the distance between your current plate mounting holes before purchasing.

Can I actually access my winch without removing the plate?

Absolutely. That's the whole point of this bracket. The flip function allows your number plate to rotate up to 120 degrees, giving you full unrestricted movement to access your winch cable without any need to remove the plate. This is particularly handy when you're out on the tracks and need quick winch access on steep terrain.

How long will it last in Australian conditions?

This bracket is built to handle harsh Australian outback conditions. It's crafted from durable stainless steel with a powder-coated Matt Black finish, making it highly corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant. The stainless steel construction means it won't rust even after water crossings or prolonged exposure to salt spray if you're near coastal areas. You're looking at a bracket that should last for years of heavy off-road use.

What if my plate gets damaged during a water crossing?

The flip design actually helps protect your plate during water crossings. The bracket allows your number plate to move with the water flow rather than resisting it, which minimises the risk of damage or loss. The flexible mounting means your plate won't snap off on rocky terrain either, and the 26mm offset low-profile design keeps it tucked against your bull bar safely.

How easy is it to install, and do I need to drill new holes?

Installation is straightforward with no additional drilling required. The bracket is designed to bolt directly onto your existing bull bar or bumper using your current mounting points. Most users can get this installed in under 15 minutes with just basic tools. The low-profile 26mm offset design means your plate sits neatly against your front bar for a clean, professional appearance once it's mounted.

How much is shipping, and what's your return policy?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this product, so there are no hidden delivery costs. If you're not completely happy with your flip plate bracket, you've got 30 days to return it for a refund, no questions asked. This gives you plenty of time to install it and make sure it's the right fit for your vehicle before the return window closes.

Why should I buy this over a cheaper fixed bracket?

While a fixed bracket might be cheaper upfront, this flip plate saves you genuine frustration every time you need winch access. Instead of unbolting your plate or working around it awkwardly, the 120-degree rotation gives you unrestricted movement instantly. The stainless steel construction also means you're investing in durability—this bracket won't rust or corrode like cheaper steel alternatives, so you'll actually save money long-term by not needing replacements. For off-road enthusiasts in Australia, the convenience and reliability make it worth the $38 investment.
