Swing Away Wheel Carrier

Mostie:
Nice one Ollie, I'll pop down and get a copy at lunch time.

It was that one on ebay that made me think about building my own, but I couldnt see on that one how it opened with the door.....and apparently it doesnt!! My colleagues and I came up with loads of concepts of mechanisms but then I found a website with (i think mantec ones) and it said about using a damper/shock absorber which I thought was nice.

Cheers for all the pointers guys.

turtle:
Mostie - if you have problems getting a copy of March LRW let me know I'll scan in the pages and post over.

If you need this send me either a PM with your address or an email with the same details.

Best Regards

There's a guy on LRUK Forums that's built his own... It doesn't swing with the back door, but there's some pretty detailed construction photo's on his web site http://www.550-spyder.co.uk/Landy%20Area/Landy.htm

I've got some photos on my webshots of the fitting of my mantec: http://community.webshots.com/user/kentzer.

Cheers
