There is a paperback book on the sunject, but I am sure it is outdated by now.
One of the ones that I noticed in one of th Miata mags is
 JLY BN

(I am assuming Jelly bean)

With regard to the front plate mounting:
Before I relocated my plate to the trunk (with all fo the hardware except
the 5mm nuts) I attempted mounting mine on two angle brackets from the bracket
mounting points under the top lip of the mouth (normal bracket mount points).
I took it off within two days because of an uncomfortable temperature increase
driving aroung the mountains in central Maryland.  What was interesting was
that the temperature increase bore no relationship to engine speed, but would
heat up going up the mountainside and cool slightly on the way down.  After
thinking about it briefly, it made lots of sense.  In any case the increase in
temp made me uncomfortable and I fell to the scofflaw attitude that I now
advocate.
