Default Shouldn't be this hard to find a bumper part!!

Scored a brand new factory D1 brush guard that was still sealed in the Land Rover box after the guy bought it & forgot it 17 years ago. Thought it was a pretty cool barn find till I started to install it & found I need a different license plate plinth. Been looking for hours & can't find one anywhere. There should be someone selling them, but the usual private seller on this forum, ebay & British websites don't seem to have the w/factory brush guard piece, and the closest pull a part from here is hours away. Any ideas I haven't thought of?

Need this entire vinyl piece in the center of the bumper. It's reversed to the part I actually have on the truck now as mine protrudes out on both sides & obstructs installation.

See, this is where I'm getting confused!! I saw the listing & picture in the link you sent, but it still has the nubs on the ends like the ones that are listed W/O brush guard & cant tell from the picture if the nubs on the end of that perticular one are thinner allowing for the 31" wide brush guard, but the part number reflects a part for the brush guard. I am under the understanding that I need the one pictured here. Perhaps they made a different one and discontinued the original. Of course, the kister will not respond with the dimensions.

I removed the factory brush guard from my 95. That piece was cut around the bracket where it attaches to the frame.

When I had the brush bar on my truck it had the 'normal' plinth on it.
Cheaper here if you need it...
