Drawing / Instructions to install Spare Wheel Bracket
Hi,
I recently bought a 2000 (W Reg) G500 RHD G500 LWB. The Spare wheel and bracket was removed and separate from the vehicle.
I want to ensure I have all the correct parts to install the bracket and spare wheel back on to the car. Can anyone supply Drawing / Instructions
See Page 242 in the attached, from the Members area.
I really don't think removing the spare would make any difference to the handling but it does make it easier to open and shut the rear door without the extra weight.
The mounting bracket can be fitted in two positions of tyre height from the ground.
Keeping, I think the cut side of the triangle top side set the wheel to sit high but turning around the bracket either clockwise or anti-clockwise set the wheel mount to sit a touch lower, your preference and choice. Make sure you use thread lock to secure the bolts otherwse these do loosen over time.
Thanks I appreciate the help. It looks as if I am most if not all of the parts to put it back on.
The chap I bought the car from said that in his opinion the car "handled" better without the wheel and bracket in place. Is there a consensus on whether or not that is the case?
