Very Nice.� �Looks like you used an M38 style as your inspiration.

You wouldn't want to make another, would you?

Edit...Just spotted Ryan's photos and measurements.�
Again, excellent work.

Tim

I picked up this tire carrier from the KW catalog, the top two holes matched but I had to drill the bottom two. As it turns out a 16" x 700 NDT will not fit as it hits the bumperette. I may have to modify the tire carrier to Ryan's design.

BMIC -

John Bizal at Midwest Military (great guy, great parts) sells the upper and lower brackets separately. You might be able to use the upper that you already have with John's lower.

The mounting requirements for one of these is a little convoluted so you'll need to figure out what you need for spacers and other hardware to make it work. I think MWM carries the spacer set too.
