Before I do !!

you have it,ive finally found one now,cj.

I have one on my new syncro and almost all the bits for a second one, I shall copy the origonal parts I am missing and make up the kit

I still remember the first spare wheel carrier I saw on a Syncro, which was in North France in 1991. I loved it then (sad) and love mine now, it's the sort of thing that everytime I walk past it I want to open and close it (very sad) I think it is part of the atraction of Syncro's that they are engineered so well. Good engineering is a joy to behold and that's why I am addicted to the Syncro.
Unsurprisingly VW improved the design for the T4 and put a lovely gas strut on it and self closing latch. I have measured them up and the parts are not transferable.

I havnt seen a T4 carrier in the flesh but I hear they are quite something. This one is getting expensive..........

Hi,

the T4 carrier looks like this one here:

I have possibly the rarest of all,a left and right side VW carrier.

I just don't get why they are SO expensive

I mean, a Landrover Swingaway is about £110 and does the same job.

But landrovers are 10 a penny themselves and as for engineering well lets not go there.

niche market maybe ?

You might not be the only one with a left hand carrier Russell

I can't believe that someone paid £615 for a spare wheel carrier

a typo for sure... just checking... no typo... it did sell for that...

Looks like my dusty old welder is gonna see the light of day again!
