Wanted - Spare wheel hanger

mountainmanUK · Post by **mountainmanUK** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 7:23 pm

Hi chaps!
Just discovered that the mounting bolt/hook on my spare wheel carrier is completely FUBAR!

Apart from being seized solid (soaked in Plusgas for a week and my 2ft breaker bar won't budge it!), it finally "pinged" off the carrier, so I could remove the spare wheel, which I wanted to swap for one with much better rubber! When I had a closer look at the hook/bolt, it is twisted out of shape and bent! Also there is now no way to unscrew it, so I am forced to cut it off with a hacksaw!

Has anyone got a spare bolt/hook lying around in their shed?
Alternatively, do GSF sell 'em?

I'm quite willing to pay a few beer vouchers, but could do with one pretty quick (i.e. before next weekend!!)

cheers
Dave

Crap, sorry mate, I threw one in the bin last week.
Which doesn't help you at all......

No, it doesn't Doc.........but that's life!

Do you know if Xantias, ZX's, or anything else, uses the same part? More chance of finding one in a scrappy!

That'll do VERY nicely thanks, Tim!

I checked around a couple of scrapyards today, but the only similar ones I could find were as bent and seized solid as my old one!

I can do a temporary job with wire for now.

I'll be at the National early Sunday......see you there mate!
(Beer vouchers gladly given in return!

)

Cheers

No probs, I was given one today by Artic steel to give to you, when I collected the wheels to get the TXS home, Im sure its in the back of the TGS.

If its not matey then I will see what else I can do

Its free gratis.
