Cracked spare wheel carrier

Fitted the Kaymar wheel on door bracket last night, pretty straight forward, the only issue being I had to disconnect the wire for the rear camera from the rear dirt so it would reach around the bracket. Spaces the spare about 50mm off the door, so no chance of rubbing now, let's hope it doesn't wreck the door hinges and lock now.
Also placed some tape between the bracket and rear door to protect the paint.
Looks neat and tidy and now just waiting for the rear work light to be installed

Did you use a double sided foam tape. I am about to fit a kaymar bracket also and am concerned about the metal rubbing on the paintwork.

Richie, I didn't use double sided tape (in all honesty I didn't think of it) I actually just used some green painters masking tape, as the bracket shouldn't move once tightened I thought it should be ok.
Just a thought though, I would probably look at using single sided tape so that it doesn't sick to the paint, not sure what would happen if you didn't put something there, but I wasn't happy to take the risk.
