Who makes this ?

Louie, I can read the tape measure but I have bad news, it has been laced with fly trap material. So be careful

Oh man! That explains the expression on my face. Its kind of ..... sweet.

Thanks to all. I thought it looked like a SA product, then I thought no, homemade sounds about right. Its o/s with a mate, so can't give more detail sorry. I've advised mate of your comments and he says thanks also :)

I was actually bemused to read the 'homemade' comments. They are well made, check weld quality when you see one (photo doesnt help), to very tight tolerances (misses my car body by 5mm when door open which I always felt was excellent engineering). Dont have to look too nice either because you can hardly see it and there is hardly any room to fit it.

Anyway, be sure your mate get detailed instructions, clearances are dependent on getting spacer positions right etc, and obviously they vary depending on the car / bracket.

I've forwarded that, thanks :)

If you're referring to my comments, the reason for suggesting what I did is that I spend my working days designing and inspecting engineered components and fabrications. It just appears that no design or manufacturing effort has gone into it. The vertical tube seems to be bent at the top, the welds are not spaced evenly and a couple of the welds appear that they have not penetrated well. Also, the bracket with the two holes appears to have been hacked out so it just fits whatever it needs to fit. However, I could be wrong - it might just be the photo. I'm sure it does the job though.

Louie, Footy also thought that. I can only suggest if you're going past Salisbury you stop in and have a look.

For interest take a look at mine in photo. Diffculty with 9350 / GU is that wheel is on the right (e.g. unlike Prado/Pajero) and 9350 much longer than Barrett (910??). So consdier need to fit behind wheel, accommodate door swing and to tuck in antenna so its least exposed. It really is a fair design effort. Benefit of these types of bracketts is that they allow access to the spare wheel with having to remove antenna (those Kaymar one's outside the wheel are not a solution at all in my mind).

Mine has seen heaps of corrungations and snags (trees etc) in the bush, and other than SWMBO catching it on the roller door (LOL) it's been fine.

cheers JD

Sorry forget spell check!! Also meant to say "allow access to the spare wheel withOUT having to remove antenna".

Morning Signman. I have no idea! I've only seen one before, and I've a feeling that it was some kind of manually adjusted thing. Didn't get to ask trhe owner as he was short of time. That was a few years ago and the details fade....like the rest of me LOL

Thanks Peter. They made one for my bro's Prado some time ago...I thought it looked familiar !
