Tire carrier height needed. Help please!

[duffymahoney]

Can anyone help me out? I need some measurements off a stock tire carrier that is mounted.

All 4 I have are bent. They are all 1/2-1” off from each other. I need center of tube to center of tube. Or bottom of pins to bottom of pins.

So far we have found 14-7/8, 14-3/4 and 15”. Anymore data would be great.

Installed mine is 14 7/8” from bottom of pin to bottom of pin

 

[.94 OR]

Mine is 15 1/8", bottom of both thrust surfaces.

Wild! I settled on basically 15”

Next question then.

Will the Y-mounts fit on the body well with your swing arm spacing?
Do you plan to use any sort of pad/spacer/paint saver between the Y-mount and the body?

Y hinges seem to be fine from 14-3/4-15-1/2 or so.

I will put clear 3M behind the hinges.
