Exterior Drop down/ Clamp on spare wheel holder

[Burnsy]

Hi all, just a few pics of the spare wheel holder I made for member @hamish22. These can be ordered if needed.

Cheers.

Works a treat and may just save the day.

Any other members looking for something similar, I can highly recommend the build and quality.:first:

Crap @Burnsy, realised I didn't call you back. Still interested in one of these.

 

[Bluey]

how much do think it will cost to post to vic they don't look that heavy can u post one it looks great can I weld it on after its in place or no need too

 

[Crusty181]

Very nice ... but, you could have made some effort to match the crumby welding Jayco offer up ... maybe closed one and welded left handed, by mirror. Im sure thats how they did mine.

 

[bigcol]

oh, so your saying they had atleast ONE eye open then when welding............................................????????

 

[Crusty181]

All Im saying is he had ONE eye ......I can only presume he had it open (at least at some point. He had to find the mirror)

Just a thought, why not extend the bottom bar so the wheel can be mounted on the holder when down. Easier to lift the wheel on and off for repairs as well then.

My wheel sits on the ground as is when connected to the holder!
Only question is: How do you get the wheel nuts on when it is facing the ground?

Hence the suggestion of reversing the setup shown so that when it is down the wheel nuts face up and the wheel lies on top of the wheel plate. Rough sketch below.

Bit rough but hope it makes sense. The post will delete the spaces.

If you turned the wheel around then you would have a lot of fun getting it off when on the road where most flats occur....have to drop the rack down another thing to do when not in a happy mood

Burnsy if you put a 40mm ?? pipe joiner in between the studs it makes a good rest for the rim, drill a hole in it and you have a spot to stick a padlock to lock it up.

I ended up slinging mine underneath as I got fed up getting dirty when dropping it to put bed end down, but left the mount there if I wanted to carry an extra spare.

I brought a packet of locking wheel nuts
left, right & spare.............
and the 2 nuts they replaced on the road wheels, they are used on the spare......

 

[Drover]

With special socket or a key lock @bigcol ?

 

[bigcol]

the socket type
Falcon AU thread I think it was .................
the spare nut & socket to unlock are in the Van.....

 

[Drover]

Dont loose it.......
