concept in practice
All coming together with the swing carrier.
1 side is the hinge with a fixed pivot made from the inner pipe.
the other forms the lock with a split section and the inner pipe forming a lock pin.
The points where the right angle bends are all reinforced with sections of inner pipe and pocket welds.
The tire mount is sourced from a factory Mitsubishi pajero/montero tail gate which has the same stud pattern and I am also using 15x7 rims from the same vehicle. I found the spare wheel mount online from a salvage yard.
So if you're inclined to make something similar you will need to procure a carry bracket to match your wheels...
Basic frame done now, might add another support strut to alleviate gravity force when swung out.
Still in thinking mode for the jerry can holders...also out of materials.
