Swing Away Wheel Carrier

Stef you tried a 4wd wreckers?

Kaymar are very good with spares.

Perhaps what you need is an over centre latch such as found here

Stef,

I had the same problem with obtaining a over centre latch. Kaymar will sell you a latch but when I tried to get two they wanted the old ones back.

I did get a commercial set but they didn't long. In the end a made my own and so far have not let me down.

i made one aswell and tried the regular manufactures they didnt like selling a componet. can understand why , so i used a bonnet lock mechanism and a cut down cable to the side as a release works for me..

Be carefull what you buy. A lot bof the home made carriers I have seen have nice looking overcentre catches but they are not strong enough for heavy corrogations and rough roads. I am in the process and have bought from this company the latch, hook and locating support rubber.

Looks very similar to the ones used by opposite lock on their carriers.


Good luck.

Maybe we could swap photo's when finished
