I finally got around to changing the location of the plate on the dump trailer. Here is where it has been living, it bent on the first use about 8 years back.
I printed a couple of mounts that each hold an LED plate light & a couple of 100lb. pull cup magnets. The plate provides a portion of the structure when attached with M5 screws.

New location
Plate light feed line was routed from the original location. I used two conductor, silicon insulated 14awg for some heft. I wrapped it with fabric cable wrap for protection & appearance. Printed wire hangers were mounted with servo tape & wire secured with zip ties.

Wires were routed across hinges to accommodate movement of door & bed

Not a must do item, but it has been bugging me everytime I noticed the original placement.
