Home made spare wheel carrier

Post by Rata Road » Sat Feb 17, 2024 9:16 pm

I made this setup out of junk lying around, an old Brass fireside set, some flat metal and a old Dog Collar and it worked great so I have since purchased 3 new Dog Collars with a name tags for bugger all from China.
Your thoughts?

Same size tires front and rear?

Canadian export to New Zealand? Canadian non-demountable wheels used the same 30 X 3 1/2 on all four wheels. Unlike USA production.

Great to see you posting Steve J!
