Swing away spare carrier

<< < (2/4) > >>

Jimbo:
Paul,

You will probably have to drill out one of the rivets that holds the corner capping on - looking at the back, off side of the vehicle, at the join between the tub and the side/rear panels (where the top hinge of the carrier goes) you will see three rivets in a line '\' shaped. You need to drill out the middle rivet, and enlarge the hole to take the fixing bolt.

When I did a 'dry run' on my damaged rear tub, I found this the worst part of the install - on the new tub I'll leave drilling this rivet until last, in case I don't need to !

Jimbo,

What make is the swing-away with the hi-lift mount on it? or did you modify it yourself?
