In the next few weeks I will be doing one as well. can you post it up as I was also thinking of using a trailer stub from supercrap auto/trailer shop with a steel frame etc

would be interested to see how it all goes together. are you gunna use a ARB bar to mount it on??

ARB rear bar is defintely the way to go, as its a very solid starting point. As already mentioned, e-bay is the best place to find em now, usually $100-$200.
Good luck with it.

I have noticed that I have a slight bend/curve along the length of my rear arb bar. I do think it is from the weight of the spare wheel. I wll get some pictures of the curve - more noticeable from the inside where you can see the length of pipe that runs through the middle of the channel.

Anyone else noticed this on theirs?

Cheers

any advances there Tony :D

I was in supercrap today and checked out the stub axles and bearings but couldnt find anything to house the bearings on the stub..what did you have in mind there :p

Some pics of the Rangie rear ARB bar Modified , I will need to shorten the Swing away Arm as it is Way too Long and puts too much weight on Pivot ( not my work either )

and a jerry can holder with be incorporated into the Mods.

and I know this is a Disco Swing away but might be ok for inspiration , incidentally I think a Kaymar from a S1 will fit a RRC , may require a couple of mods .

A lathe:D and heavy wall pipe or solid shaft bored and machined. Depends what I trip over at the time I do it:p Will post up pics as I go. I have an ARB Bar of three here;) So will be based on one.
I've let my build up thread die for now but will dig it up soon if it's still there:o

2nd hand ARB bars sell for about $200, i just sold one for $150

get your stub axle and hub from a Trailer place... the hubs at Supercrap are not machined steel and they are complete hubs, not hub centers..

Here are some of mine to look at

Hi guys,

I have an ARB style (repro) rear bar in chequerplate that I want to get rid of. Would be suitable for a wheel carrier add on. Slab of cans and its yours. In Vic, can pm photos.

cheers, DL
