Spare Wheel Bracket

[Darwin]

Can I move it up , my new wheel and tyre doesnt fit :nenau

 

[makeitfit]

Yes, see my mods

I'm sure someone said you can take it of, turn it 'upside down' and refit it to get a couple of extra inches. :nenau

How much space do you need??

 

[wolf]

Well not sure about moving the bracket, but im sure you could fabricate a plate to bolt to it allowing the height difference needed!?!?

 

[makeitfit]

If you turn it upside down you'll get maybe an inch
I've got a 32 on the back as spare at the mo

 

[Darwin]

ok will try turning it upside down see if that helps

didnt really wanna do it in the rain but working tommorow

 

[Darwin]

Hey Darwin, I'm also going 265x75x16..

My question is... what exactly have you done to the original spare wheel carrier to allow for the larger wheel?

thanks

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

a bit off topic, but i used to do this to troopers years ago and putting spacers under the braket and longer bolts used to work for me.

A picture speaks 1000 words

1 x sheet of 5.5mm ally checkplate 250mm x 500mm (I think)
4 x M10 Stainless Bolts & Washers
16 x M10 Nylon washers
6 x M12 Stainless washers

Well i have to do something with mine now sheared off 2 of the bolts changing a wheel! oh the joys!!

you need to spray you NUTS with WD40

or get some cream from the doctors

Remember Dadba fitted a wheel spacer on his patrol to give more room,with bigger tyres.

Yeh but you need the height too, as Darwins job works for me:thumbs
Spacer needed to let the windscreen wiper work:lol
