Does anyone have one to sell or swap or know where I can get one? Thanks!

I recognise that 88"! Hi mike!
It might be a better option to try to source a swing away wheel carrier for the rear? The spare wheel puts a huge strain on the door hinges, particularly a series with only 2 hinges. A later Defender rear door has 3 hinges.
If you have no luck, I have a rear door carrier here that you could make one up from. They would not be that hard to copy.
Cheers,
Chris
