martin b Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I know this has been done to death but two quick questions. Where would I get something to cover the tube ends, I am leaving a stub in order to reattach at some point? Where would I get a chrome washer & bolt to hide the hole through which the spare wheel would be mounted? Keeping number plate and light lower rather than using the number plate to hide the hole.

Foxy Smith Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Try here http://www.abacus-furniture.co.uk/1-2.htm or try searching tube ends on Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Adderley Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmmm Just tried searching this on e-bay and found lots of rectal tubes Are you sure this is what's needed on the back of a 7?? 😬 Martin I cut my carrier off at the weekend & used the light to hide the hole (on the advice of a fellow blatchatter) - worked a treat. Really struggled to find an end tube though, so I'm grateful for your post. Cheers Mark 1400 SS - 41k and counting...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi Martin, I have removed mine (as I am sure you know). I found some black rubber chair legs protectors in Robert Dyas, perfect fit. Next time we meet in the pub I will tell you all about it if you like. Dicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin b Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Dicky, not sure I need to talk about those black rubber things you put on your stubs Have a good time skiing 🤔 Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.russell Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Martin this is what i did here I made up an internal threaded bar that is screwed in from underneath with a small csk screw here herethen the number plate carrier fits over the chassis stubs and screws into the insert with a csk M8 bolt, have intended to make a longer carrier if i need to carry the wheel, or one to carry a box but havnt got around to it yet. kevin R black-ali HPC Edited by - k.russell on 21 Feb 2006 06:31:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
