Mounting Hole Spacing of Draw-Tite 8802 Folding License Plate Holder

Question:
Why are the mounting holes 7.5 inches when a standard plate is 7 inches? This guarantees it will not fit any plate holder without drilling.

The license plate mounting holes of the # 8802 are 7 inches apart on center, while the holes for mounting the plate holder to the vehicle or trailer are 7-1/2 inches apart. The holder IS compatible with a standard license plate.
I'll provide a photo showing those dimensions.
We also offer a hardware kit for attaching the plate to the holder, part # CR80230. The anchors snap into the square holes of the # 8802 to provide a threaded nut to accept the 1/4 inch screws included in the kit.
