Hi

Looking at building a spare wheel carrier for my Prado. It has a steel bumper I can weld bits to but I am struggling to get the bits for the piviot.

I have looked at Trailer Stub axle etc but that is cast so I won't be able to weld to it,,,,

Also I need a latch. Does anyone know where I ca get that sort of thing?
I am in Christchurch.

Thanks.

yeah in hind sight counter sink a trojan stub axle into the bumper with a piece of pipe to match the outer race of the bearings ..that way when it gets any play in it you can just do up the crown nut?

Clint on here is doing something similar at the moment.

So far as a catch goes, I would look at a surf tyre carrier.
