paul_humphreys:
I have picked up one of the above made by wva.holdings (same as the scrapiron one). Dose anyone have any pictures of the way it mounts? I need pics of the top, bottom and door mounts inside and out side please.

Paul, I think mine is a britpart one ...would pics of that be any use?

paul_humphreys:
Sorry no Bob as its not the same. Guy (geobloke) was ment to be sending me pics of his as its the same, but not got them as yet.
i want to fit it tomorrow so a bit of guess work I think.

Paul,

I've got one of these carriers to fit on the 110...........it's still in the garage at the mo, one of those 'things to do' !!

Anyhow, as you'll have found out - they don't send fitting instructions with the carrier, and it's not as easy as just bolting the thing to the ar4e-end of the truck. I've collected a few pics, they are in my gallery:

One thing I have discovered, is that if you have NAS spec rear lights fitted, fitting the carrier is going to be a right PITA, as depending on exactly where the NAS lamps sit, they may be in the way of the carrier mounts.

Somewhere in the garage I have a drawing from WVA that shows the fitting process - if I can find it, I can post you a copy...any use ?

Jim

paul_humphreys:
Thanks Jim, the more help I have the better. I will take some pics as I put it on so it will be a help to you and others.

Paul
