Company was good about it. I showed them the problem, manager got the apprentice to remove the wheel he put on so well :p and when damage was evident, they offered straight away to replace it with a second hand one, no dramas, which I thought was fair. The car is 13 years old, after all. I would have been happy if they welded in new bolts, but they wanted to replace the whole lot. Limited options locally, so they;re going to try and source one in Townsville or Mackay, both of which I'll be in over the next few days, and if they find one, I've offered to collect it to save on freight.
Understand, it's a small town, I teach his kid, I taught the apprentice when he was at school (not one of my successes), they give good free advice when I need it, you keep things sweet, and everyone looks after everyone else:D.
I just wanted to know if a D1 carrier would fit too to widen the possible source, but I think sheerluck & slug_burner are on the money saying the D1 and D2 had different pitch sizes for the wheels. To be honest, I'm not even too worried about the colour, given it will be mostly hidden by the wheel and tyre most of the time.
Cheers all, I'll let you know how I go.
