Piv-Lock Wheel-Carrier

Bush Tucker Man:
I called in at Simmonites  when I was 'Out & About' (on Thursday 16th) with a partial idea of having a look at one.

Does anyone have one?, & from which supplier?
I saw the price of the genuine LR item in the Rimmer Brothers 90/110 catalogue & thought... well I won't repeat it here!
I presume that it's the NAS/Special Vehicles item

Craddock advertise the Mantec which looks identical for (I think?) £199

I'll presume Paddocks sell one?

Photos & comments please, & ease of fitting, as I'm considering (possibly?) adding an extra pair of tail-lights inboard of the fog & reverse- will there be a positioning conflict?

drum:
While on the subject, cos I have a 35" Tyre on the rear door, I feel I really ought to do something with the weight etc. However as it stands the wheel, catches the brake light when the door is fully opened, do any of the carrier avoid this in any way??

Deb:
BTM, I have a bearmach one like this:



Can't remember how much but i can find the receipt.  I found it really easy to fit, although I had to remove my rear/right light guard.

Drum I found this one kept my wheel further from the door, as before mine was fouling my read wiper, so it may bring it out enough to avoid the light, or may make it worse, can't figure out in my mind what the larger tyre size would do.

I reckon it could be because they're non-standard alloys on your truck,so the of-set is differant & allows it to sit closer to the wiper?

Dirty Gertie:
BTM, I had an article on this subject published in LROi mag, Nov 2004, comparing several types of spare carrier; I'd look it up for you, but it's too damn' early!! :wink:  :shock:
