Mines shaky too, been meaning to modify it or build a new one but haven't found the time yet.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I have a side mount attached to the driver side tow hook but I don't have any useful pictures to show how I did it... just where it is

Mine is quite jiggly too... but that's because I used some left over galvanised sheet steel (not the strongest stuff out there)
I think if I made the angle section abit wider... or added a little reinforcement to it... it would be abit more resistant to flex

I knocked it up in about 2 hours so I didn't really end up with a perfect solution... :oops:

Mine doesn't shake at all. $5 of double sided tape at the big green temple, curved the plate to fit the front of the car, stuck it on.

I religiously end up there on Sundays and usually manage to drop past and make a donation a few times a week. :lol:

It probably moved a bit I guess, but it was silent. The next version we made with a more solid bracket and the plate rivetted to the bracket was rubbish, you could hear it jiggling.
