Default Problem with side mount bracket
I just got my side mount bracket for license plate and I am having a problem..........i took off nut on left side of rear axle, put bracket over axle and now I don't have any more threads showing to put back on the nut on the rear axle.....now what the hell happened? I called website and they said it was correct part. Am I missing something?
Any help?

Did you remove the stock washer and spacer for the axle adjuster? George

I just did same thing. I didn't use stock spacer and no washer just bolted in back on. There's a notch cut into plate bracket for the adjusting bolt to slip into. Lined it all up works fine.
