Rear Spotlight Mount Idea

[Thomas61]

Hi,
Just putting this out there as an idea really for those after a different way to mount lights. Spotted it online and quite liked the look.

Nice!

Different for sure. I suppose it beats drilling the roof if you don't want to risk spoiling your truck.

Nice one, I'm trying to think where to mount mine

I am guessing that as the Terrano does not have a recessed spare tyre area in the door you could easily pick anywhere around the tyre to fit the brackets even a light to the side for a door mounted number plate?

It should be very easy to undo the wheel carrier, use the bolts to fix something to and put wheel carrier back on, if you get me

I made a mount out of 1" square thick wall tube for the pmr aerial. Mine is like an "H" on its side, so all 4 bolts pass through it, with the aerial bar coming up from one end so it is central on the door.

This makes it very rigid.

Yeh I bet it is!! No hassle with the wheel being further out?

No, I had to move mine further out to fit the hard spare wheel cover, as the wiper hit it, and that was what gave me the idea for Suz's one.

I have made Suz's so that in the future I can raise the spare wheel a bit too, as it makes it a lot easier to hitch the caravan. It stops the stabiliser handle hitting the spare, only thing is I need to fit her reversing camera first.

Turn the spare wheel bracket over, will lift the lot up more,
