I have been looking on the internet but no luck... anyone knows if some one sells 3 of them new or second hand? Mine broke when I was in Ireland (2006) and since that I installed 3 chains sections, but they are no safe, the carrier moves on bumpy roads and makes noises...
TIA.

Re: Front spare wheel carrier hinges
Victor they were never available seperately only as part of the subframe on late syncros
I made mine using the 2wd drive ones cut down by 1/3 and made my own angled bits to support them - been on there 6 years no problem
