mantec spare wheel carrier

does anybody have a pic of a mantec swing away spare wheel carrier fitted to a late defender with a one piece rear door?
I have swaped the rear door on my 50th to a late type, but the original mantec metal plate that bolted on to the old spare wheel carrier mounts is the wrong size for the new one piece door. I could just do with seeing what it is meant to look like so i can fabricate something up.

Thanks.

I'll take a pic of mine once it stops raining.

They changed the layout of the bolts and Mantec made a new plate so that you didn't have to drill any holes in the back door - just use the in-situ fittings.

You could always call them and I'm sure they'll send out the correct part for the later door. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

Call Mantec and ask to speak to Kevin Brayne (0247 6395368) he will help you. Cogito ergo sum

It's pretty tight with the standard step bumper - can't really see yours is much different though...

I would invert the nut and bolt, or use a different locking mechanism instead of the nylok, if that's the issue.
