As above, I'd like a swingaway wheel carrier for my 90. Been making one for a while but somehow can't get it right! So, not bothered about finish, old, worn, even bent and broken, so long as it's cheap!

Preferably near Doncaster ..

Took mine off just over two years ago when I started the rebuild. It's not going back on, but I'm a long way from you. I live about 26 miles North of Newcastle.

It's rusty, but would clean up or shot blast ok.

No problem. I bought it from Paddocks ten years ago. Seems like yesterday It's been in the garden shed for the last 2 1/2 years. The shed is very dry, but the joints have gone tight. I should imagine they'll slacken up fine. They've got grease nipples too, so will be ok.
As you say, we'll see what Paul want to do.

Heh, we've just come back from Hartlepool and Middlesborough, if I'd read LZ I'd have driven further up to collect it! Bit too far right now so please let chrisstdt have it ...

@chrisstdt Evening mate. Crikey, I can't believe 8 years have gone by since we posted about this
Did you ever get the wheel carrier fitted?
