Spare wheel mount..

So no one else has encountered this problem & been able to source a mount that is readily available to replace the factory mount ??..

I'd find it odd if there was another mount available.

Strom I was going to check my 120 last night but forgot but I seem to recall that you lift the wheel up onto the inner support of the spare carrier and then lift the wheel onto the studs. I don't think the centre piece takes any load at all once the spare is on the studs. If you think about it the only load on the studs other than tension is some static weight of the wheel/tyre so 40 odd kgs. Once the three nuts are nipped up friction would help support and take some of the bounce loadings. I doubt there is an issue other than no landing to lift the wheel onto before you line it up on the studs.

You could cut the old centre piece off and weld on a piece of box section or pipe. If you used box you could then use that for a mount for axe/shovel etc. Just a thought.

I don't think you can cut off the centre support as that is where the camera mounts, no? (It's been a while since I last looked at a 150 tyre carrier)

Wooley I would find it odd if one wasn't available..

Am I the first person to change the wheels on a 150 to have a slightly smaller center hole than factory ??..

You would think not..

amts I am under the belief that the wheel mount on the 150 GXL does in fact carry the reverse camera..
Mine is a GX so this is not particularly an issue for Me..
I am also wanting to keep the center piece there as it makes it alot easier for the ball & chain to lift the spare onto to mount the wheel..
It looks like I may have to have something fabricated..

I cut mine off and relocated my camera with a small fabricated bracket tech screwed to what was left. The camera now pokes out through one of the gaps in my spare wheel which was good as I could put it where I wanted it and can now see my tow ball.
