Update on D3 wheel carrier.
Murray from Rijidij was awesome and has completed the latest evolution of his RWC.
He was able to use my car as a donar vehicle to confirm the new kit fitted as designed and while Murray fitted it, he created some detailed installation instructions templates etc.
The new design has a bolt in axle stub, allowing full removal of the RWC arm and makes installation easier.
Murray said he planned to make a batch of them to satisfy the many D3/D4 requests he gets
Thanks Jim, for volunteering your D3 as the guinea pig for the latest prototype of this wheel carrier. As usual, it was a pleasure to meet another friendly AULRO member.
Although everything fitted up well and the new design was much easier to fit, I'll be making some very minor adjustments to allow a little more clearance between the hub and tail gate.
If all goes well, I'd like to get some more of these cut with my next laser cut order in a couple of weeks and put some more carriers together.
I feel like a broken record, but I'm a one man operation here and things always seem to take longer to get up and running than I would like, but we're getting there.
I've had quite a few requests for D3/4 carriers, so it is something I want to get on to ASAP.....................among all the other jobs https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...013/08/464.jpg
Cheers, Murray

That looks very nice. I'm sure you probably have been asked a thousand times but is there any issues with th rear sensor? Do you have an idea on price at this point? Cheers.
Matt
yes..there is rear sensor issue, but as I also run a mitch hitch...although its missing from this picture.
I think I will completely cover the RHS inner sensor instead of the 1/2 cover I installed that you can see in the picture.
From what I've heard, it's a bit hit and miss with rear sensors being affected, depending what type they are etc, but they do usually have issues with anything fitted near them.Quote:

Haven't finallised price yet, but looks like around $1100 + freight. Will post details in the vendors section when they're available.
Cheers, Murray
Nice piece of kit there Murray.
Cheers.
