    Something with very wide chassis side rails, like something where the spare lives up underneath the bum.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Looks like the spare wheel holder is made to carry a 5 stud spare. Measure the distance between the upper two spare wheel mounting bolts and multiply by 1.701
    (Wheel sizing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

    That will give you the PCD - then you can match it to a vehicle.

    At a guess - Landcruiser Troop carrier ?

    Langy: Cheers, a good resource. No luck so far. Using the 2 methods I get
    (Adjacent) 5 X 112.6 and (OPP) 5X 116.
    Still, looking.
    Cheers, Dave

    This looks like a Jeep bar to me.

    Dont worry about the mounting iron width.

    My Kaymar rear bar mounts are similar to your pics. There is an additional cross member attached as part of the tow bar with the mating irons, for the bar attached.

    The distance between the irons is not the same as chassis distance.

    If the bar is a nice fit for the back of the D2, making the mounting isnt too hard.

    cheers

    Strangy, Thanks Mate.I'll check out the jeeps. My options are to cut and weld it into a D2 bar or flog it off for materials and scratch build my design.
    Cheers, Dave.
