im deffinatly happy with it now! it is a really good design, simple light and for what it is, bloody strong!
the main tube on mine is made from exhaust tube!
oh, and it opens with the rear door.
the top mount isnt showing any problems at all and i doubt it ever will. but do watch out in reguards to the bottom mount. on mine ive made up a large spreader plate to spread the load. with the small orignal one it was colapsing my cross member....

Subscriberwere the mounting bolts for your lower mount thru both sides of the crossmember? I have put a spreader plate on the forward facing face of the CM and bolted thru both sides with 4x10mm, do you reckon I should fit crush tubes inside as well? Also fitted a backing plate of 3mm on the top mount, when its finished it will open with the door as well, my main tube is 5mm thick wall, so not to worried about it distorting.Originally Posted by discowhite

yep, they go all the way through. i used 2x 1/2''x4''? HT bolts and 1x 3/8x1'' this one dosent go through.were the mounting bolts for your lower mount thru both sides of the crossmember
ide use crush tubes, other wise to have to tighten up the bolts every now and then.

Nice work...
Did you know that the space inside your original carrier mount ( the bit you welded to the pipework) is the right size for one of the long skinny 1.5kg gas bottles and a small compressor?
