Spare wheel carrier

[Dazco]

That is a concern I have Fred. Having said that, hanging a bracket off the side is t gonna do it much good either , not without some fairly big spreader plates fitted from the inside . Wot a dilemma .

I would like a swing out carrier as well but they are so expensive,will keep my eye on this thread

Got a watch on a hilux carrier for £50, will see what happens. Just sent them a message about throwing
The mounting brackets in for free

hi Daz, how you doing mate?
Saw this on that auction site. Base for a project? Maybe sell the bars on after using the frame?

Thanks bobs and Meggles for that, I'm gonna see if I get a reply from the guy selling the hilux carrier, think that may be the best option . However if that doesn't work I've got plenty more to think about.

Getting back to the original post, when I was looking for my wheel carrier, I put an advert on the wanted page, and "topped it up" every so often, to make sure it stayed visible. I also put a similar thread on the syncro page. There are always a couple for sale, you just need to make sure everyone knows you're after one. If I was you, I'd stick with a carrier that has been built for the job, and not take a chance on some home made thing, that might fail at any time.

plenty of people have used a paulchen bike rack as a tyre carrier

Just buy a white cover for it and bung it on the high top secured by a ratchet strap





White cover here, gone up by a couple of quid though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caravan-Trail ... 3f18c3c77d" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I would have to buy a van with a hightop then not a very economical solution
Tis a pop top

Yes I saw the "1986 Volkswagen Autosleeper" under your avitar and assumed it was a high top, forgot about the Trooper version
