Spare wheel carrier

Hi all.
I've just bought a defender 90 but it's got a new rear door without the spare wheel carrier holes.
I've bought a new style pressed steel carrier , but I'm just wondering if anyone could measure exactly where it should fit onto the door .
Any help would be much appreciated

Might be easier to fit a swing away type. They're quite cheap and save your door skin/hinges over time

Have you removed the door card and checked if the holes for the rear wheel carrier are in the reinforcing ribs?

I agree

Swingaway wheel carriers normally have a door plate which picks up on some of the holes of the standard door wheel carrier. So probably best to remove rear door card and see if the holes for standard wheel carrier are in the reinforcing ribs as a starting point.
