spare wheel carrier.

Got bored today so i decided to make a swing away wheel carrier for my 90 out of some scrap and an old super dream swingarm.It's not finished yet so is a bit rough but thought i'd put some piccies on (pics ain't great but better than nowt).I'll get the hinges made up tomorrow and paint it up then put more pictures on ere.

250 or 400?

think it were 250.

got any pics so i can steal yer ideas

finished it today, I made up some hinges from a bit of ally c section I found and fitted a spreader plate behind the bottom hinge to stop the body flexing, the carrier is secured through the tailgate which ive welded a sleeve into to stop the frame crushuing with a 12mm pin and welded a 12mm nut into the carrier to screw it into . I'm really happy with how it looks and works and think it looks beter than some of the mass produced ones ive seen.

few more pics

just a thought , would it make sense to mount the tailboard on the spare wheel carrier so they both hinged sideways together..

I thought about doing that but wanted to keep my drop down tail gate ,plus if i need to carry anything long i can pull out the hinge pins and remove the carrier completely leaving the tailgate in place.
