[DML] Re: Spacing

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consider it an artifact of a semi-hand-built car. . 

When the facias came from the manufacturer, the license plate holes 
were not there (as they are not there on new-in-box stock now). It 
was up to someone to drill them on the assembly line, apparently one 
of the drillers was not very accurate. 

About all you can do would be to tear out the anchors, fill the holes 
and redrill in the right place. As Harold notes, there aren't many 
good ways to do this (and probably a lot of bad ways).
