Fixings required to fit the wheel carrier to the van are supplied.
Wheel Carriers bolt to the existing hinges on the door and require two holes drilling in the skin of the door and one hole drilling through each hinge. This wheel carrier can be fitted to vans with 180degree hinges.
Always test fit any bolt-on product before painting to be sure it fits. We will not reimburse for painting if the part is not test fitted prior to painting.
Historically these doors have been very weak around the area that the hinge bolts to. They are common to crack here. By fitting a wheel carrier that braces over the top of the door spanning between the hinges and the door you are actually strengthening this area and therefore making your door less likely to crack in this place. Fitting the wheel carrier stops the hinge from flexing the side of the door which is what causes the stress cracks.
All drilled holes will require any bare metal painting to prevent corrosion. We also bond the door skin mount and the door skin which removes the point load off the bolts whilst also sealing up the hole to prevent water ingress.
