You can secure it anywhere providing it is easily legible when viewed from the front.

MOT wise it must be readable at around 20 mtrs.

Just remembered these number plate mountings from Devon 4x4 (http://www.devon4x4.com/products/44/D44%20products/450/D44+lowline+number+plate+mounts) or you could just use a couple of 90 degree brackets mounted to the top of the roller fairlead to bolt the number plate too.  :wink:
