Orange Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'm trying to come up with a solution to mounting my bigger-than-standard spare wheel in the back of my Range Rover..... Why the Defender forum, then, I hear you ask - bear with me!! I've got an idea to mount a standard defender/series spare wheel mounting bracket (the rear door type) on the inner wing, but don't have one and haven't got a vehicle close by to be able to measure... Can comeone give me the dimensions of the back plate and the length of the 3 studs that come off of it please? Also, how many mounting holes are there in the back plate? Much obliged...

Raggylad Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Mounting plate is 6 3/4 x 7 1/4" Wheel mounting studs are 7 1/4", but centre wheel support U bracket sticks out 9" There are 8 mounting bolts on the back plate - 2 each side. Not sure if mine is OE - I know the previous owner fitted it himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Mo, Mine is already spoken for in all honesty, so if you had one, that would be dead useful Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yup no problem Mark. Adrian, I can post it to you at the cost of the postage or you can collect next time you come this way. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Cheers for the dimensions chaps... Mo - I will take you up on the offer, but am not sure when I'm next in your neck of the woods! Will drop you a message once SWMBO has spoken to her mum and arranged something - if you don't mind holding on to it for now... Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
