what spare wheel carrier with bumperettes?

Want to fit a spare wheel carrier to save my door on a 90 TD5....have First Four bumperettes fitted so need a wheel carrier that will clear those....any suggestions? First four did offer one to suit their bumperettes but they have closed unfortunately

Well, FWIW I have a Nakatanenga carrier on my vehicle. It's on there with a NAS step. The NAS step will be coming off shortly and I'll be fitting some bumperettes/corner protectors which I bought 2nd hand, but which I think are the Safari Equip versions.

I looked long and hard, and then long and hard again at as many photos as I could find and I think that the Naka carrier and these bumperettes will be compatible. If not, then just a little tender grinding of one edge of the O/S bumperette will be all that's needed.

Like I say, not sure if that really helps but at least it's 'on topic'! Donald

Both the Safari Equip wheel carrier and bumperettes fit together. The wheel carrier on Miffy is a SE carrier and is now 19 years old. Great gear

I have the first four bumperettes with a Mantec carrier. I know they have gone fut, but there are copy versions of the Mantec style carrier available.

ORE wheel carrier is supposed to be the daddy. I have no direct experience though.
