Anyone now what this does ? spare wheel strap?

gbcamper wins the prize, I'll stick it in the post.

 

Can anyone post a pic (or point me in the right direction) showing how the strap thing attaches to the van? I've searched and googled and looked in all the manuals but i can't find any info.

Mine's a westy so the spare would have originally been in a cupboard - i've moved it back to the rear in the original well area - i have a cover and a strap but i can't see how the strap attaches to the vehicle?

Any help appreciated.

 

their should or might be a couple of metal brackets on the inside of your bus where the wheel well is ie on the centre line under the window but if its a westie and it was ment to go in the cupboard they might not have fitted them ??

 

thanks. sods law isn't it - i searched for ages but couldnt' find anything relevant.

.. as soon as i'd posted asking the question i found exactly what i needed: http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/panel-picture-help.33773/#post-582359



thanks @snotty

 

You may find the brackets have been cut off by the camper converter - mine were. Pic shows home-made ones glued/screwed on.

 

thanks @snotty

yep, mine has no brackets so the plan is to locate/fabricate some to match the originals.

ok - if those are home made jobbies can anyone show me what the originals would have looked like?

 

Exactly the same! But spot-welded on.

PS You'll also need the rubber bumpers.

 

i will need to get all stuff out back of bus to take pic but @snotty has dims i assume

 

thanks guys, a pic of the OEM items would be very helpful thanks @Barneyrubble not urgent.

 

here you go @rob.e same as snotty


and heres dims for you ok


the shaded bits are the rubber stops which you will need too.

 

awesome, thanks @Barneyrubble !
