I've got a 1990 volvo again... road worthy, finally!

Somehow, both of these that I've owned have lost their front license plates by losing the entire mounting bracket before I ever had a chance to look at them.

As far as I can tell, there is supposed to be a carriage bolt holding the bracket to the plastic bumper cover. I don't really want to take the entire bumper cover off just to put the carriage bolts in, especially because the clearance to the aluminum bumper is very small.

I'm thinking that there is probably a square plastic expanding plug that will work instead. I'm not entirely sure what those are called, but the hole is about 9/32 square. Does anyone know what the front license plate bracket is supposed to be mounted with or have a modern substitute?
