come on you budding photographers!can someone pleeeeeeeeease post a piccy or 2 showin how a swing away 'attaches' to the door. is it a latch or clip or somethin cos i dont have a clueeee. wanna check that if its somethin you attach to the door itself then that I can attach it to mine, cos theres some unremovable junk already on me door!

anyhelp would be grand guys!
 
they usually either connect to a plate which bolts to the door, if it opens with the door or if it's like mine then it has a spring loaded peg that clicks into a slot at the base of the mounting arm where it bolts to the crossmember.
 
the one like yours redhand, is there a downside to that?is there a type that make opening the door from inside a pain or is that me jus confused??

Yu can't open the door from the inside at all if the wheel carrier is in the closed position. But as mine doesn't have seats in the back it int a problem for me.

You can see the operating lever in the pic in the previous post. the rubber block on the wheel carrier is to stop it rattling when in the closed position.
 
ahh rite, kinda need to be able to open door from inside hmmm, can anyone post a pic of the door plate that the other type of swing away (the type that allows you to open door from inside),attaches to please...i'm guessin its this type...fookin double the price!!!

they all look alike they're only really the 2 types that you can get. there might be minor differences and the build quality might be better in some but as long as yu keep em greased and look after em they'll all outlast the land rover they're bolted to..
 
hi all , i got one the same as busters from paddoks , my kids r in and out back door all day no probs, good bit of kit for price
 
anyone recommend an alternative supplier than paddocks who do the spare wheel carrier that opens WITH the door, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease i'm gettin desperate here
