WANTED Swing Away Spare Wheel Carrier

When I get my van out of storage I'm still going explore this - http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/slk-space-saver-underside-mount.47139/#post-830254

 

Found a decent pic. Pretty basic fare tbh.

 

Probably want mine on the left tbh but not the end of the world if not. Ie so it doesn't swing into traffic

 

Is that a pukka one or a copy? It looks poop

 

I think it's an original one and your right it does. Needs updating.

 

Brilliant idea may go down this route myself

 

Looking at land rover ones I'm wondering whether modding one might be more appropriate. They are mostly quite well made, or at least look it. Vary in price and construction though.

 

This was £99

 

Cantilevering all that weight on the bodywork?
It looks gash! I'll be leaving mine on the front for small childrens heads to bounce off.

 

The ideas right but it needs to be somewhat scaled down , discreet. The landy ones are too big and designed for the wheel to end up in the middle. not really what Im after tbh. This one is the right sort of thing, but again possibly just too big.

I wonder if @Paul Weeding has finished my pair yet

 

Thats the puppy for me to be honest. Even allows a standard number plate to be used. I dont think Paul is up for making these but probably wouldnt be too happy if they were copied either.

How does it lock in position Para?

 

My brain has just exploded trying to work that out. the long spring loaded bar locates in a hole in the hinge bracket to keep it in position from what i can see - is that right?

 

Yes thats right

 

That one was the prototype whilst paul was working it all out

 

Any chance of an up to date pic.

 

Hopefully
