ImageImageImage tyre will be held on with a three legged rhino rack strap. Struts are only tacked on at the moment until I know if thats the final position for them.

Finally got a chance to get a couple of pics of the finished product, tho I'm still not happy with the struts as they don't quite hold it up as well as I'd like. Works well for now till I work something else out. ImageImageImageImage

Where they are now there is too much leverage on them but I need them up out of the way of my fridge. Mite have to see if I can notch a small section of the main down pipe so they can sit between the pipe and the rack but lower down. Bit hard to explain.

I know this will raise the tyre height a bit but could would mounting the wheel a little further forward be an option to reduce the counterlever load?

Driving is a damn good hobby when you run out of things to fix or modify. Gorgeous girls mate, the oldest is rocking the bogan grin, does she take after her dad?
