Yes, another spare wheel carrier question

not this one Dave?... Hardy labelled this photo as "Crap Carrier" ;)
Apparently it was pretty useless and needed a lot of stiffening.

Yes that looks like it. Very light weight and pretty much looks like its for smooth on road use.

Any bumps and lumps would see it stress and perhaps bend and break.

Yikes!! That's looks a tad scarry. There are better carriers of this style getting around. I'm trying to chase one down her in Bendigo who's got one.
