Black Swing away Spare Wheel Carrier
To fit all Defender models 1983-2016. Will fit side opening half rear door LR516G (will not fit drop down tailgates)
Take the stress off your door and hinges by fitting this heavy duty swing-away spare wheel carrier that puts the weight onto your chassis instead.
Designed & Tested in house at SP, these are strong, reliable & will fit your Defender.
This swings with the door as you open the door. Unlike others where you need to swing the wheel carrier and then the door seperately
They will fit all Defender models from 1983-2016. This is made from heavy gauge steel tube with a quality second to none.
The main plate, wheel mounting plate and hinges are all made from heavy duty 5mm Steel.
To ensure this part lasts for life, self lubricating nylon bushes are used within the hinge parts, not only making sure its swings with the door smoothly but to also make it last. Removing the problem of the unit rattling on the back door, nylon bushes with a steel sliding piston is used which is extremely tough, doesn't rattle and again has self lubricating properties. We have found this to be the most effective and reliable method of allowing the little bit of movement required for the carrier to slide when the door is opened and also to damp it when it is in the closed position.
The full fitting kit is supplied included every nut and bolt you need to fit, full instructions are also included to aid a speedy fit.
Before being powdercoated, the steel has been shot blasted to give the best grip for the powdercoat to attach to
