I suppose I could get a bracket like that but on my clunker probably easier to go for some slim euro plates.
Anyway, Pickles hopefully you will make it through the 6 month wait without going too mental :)
I honestly can't work out why the ADR won't allow the almost square rear number plate that's fitted to Defenders everywhere else in the world.
The little wedge thingy is 100% specific for Aussie Defenders...
I can imagine debate and decision on ADR for things like the exhaust facing squarely backwards. Maybe a safety or environmental origin, but the number plate thing has me stumped.

Well, it's going to be a LLLOOONNNGG wait that's for sure, but we've had to wait similar times for the last couple of cars we bought, so I'm sure it won't be too bad.
My daughter's just had her first child, so I'm going to enjoy being Grandpa, & Wifey's off to the Holy Land in a few months, so there's a few things happening to take our minds off it!
Cheers, Pickles.
The number plate thing is nuts!
I imported my 2004 South African 110 and just couldn't face putting one of those awful brackets. I just made up a slightly reduced size plate and fingers crossed that the Feds don't give me too much heat (1 year down and ok so far, I carry the real on in the back under the seat).
Incidentally I have a friend who has a 2004 South African built 110 Extreme (about 1000 earlier of the production line than mine), his was imported officially to Australia and doesn't have the wedge but the number plate is bent round the rear corner, looks awful!
