My former G had the said carrier and according to the EPC is PN A4608901144. Surprisingly, it's listed at just € 139.56 + VAT

just for reference, this carrier will work on current trucks for flipping the spare around with stock rims and tires up to about 285 series tires. It'll shift the tires position a little from the stock location, but it'll fit right on. Not so long ago i finished a job to fabricate a hybrid from the two so that my spare is flipped and in the high position of the current mount (current stock mounts have 2 positions... delivered in the low position for better rear visibility... if there's such a thing).

If you need a rear door spare wheel carrier for a 02- 06, I have one.
The price: $20 US which I guess will be the cost of shipping and packaging, as I have no use for it. It is cluttering the garage.
I DO NOT have the three bolts and three spacers.
I will gladly send it to you.
If you do not have the door with the mounting holes, I think you are not going to be able to use it.
Let me know.

We can work out the details after you contact me.

Thanks for the offer, but shipping to UK and import duties would far exceed the UK cost new. |

Wow, $200 + tax and shipping for a spare carrier. Maybe I’m a miser, but that’s a bitter pill to swallow. For the cost of five 21mm (?) extra long bolts, corresponding nuts, a flat drainpipe collar, and a piece of pipe (all less that $25, and pipe was free), I fabricated my own, which four years later remains solid as a rock and supports the weight of the tire and three trail bikes. I know we all do not have the same availability of resources at our disposal, but I think we can cobble something together to respond to this. I had drawn up some diagrams for this w/all details; if I still have and can find them, I am going to scan and post. |

I must have missed something here, how does a total cost of $25 US which I estimate is the cost to box and ship the spare tire carrier exceed the cost of making his own? (It weighs about 10 pounds.):cool:
Is there an import duty on a package shipped by US Postal Service to Canada with no value? |

But I live in the UK. If you can send it to me via air post for less than half the cost of a new one then I'll have it |
