A little project of mine so the larger spare doesn't rub on the door and a good opportunity to improve the rear lighting

I believe not, only because I am looking at the ones Redlands 4WD do (near me) which are custom made, and the GU and GQ mounts are different apparently - all I know is the GU one he has won't fit mine ..

Yeah, they are different, GQ needs a bit cut out for the wiper, GQ will fit GU but will be very high.

The GQ mounting holes are 120 centres x 190 and the GU are 120 x 250, GU misses the wiper and GQ needs a bit cut out.GQ is about 450 tall and the GU about 320 tall.

I hear you loud and clear mate ... I mean, between opening tinnies, lighting smokes, cooking on the BBQ, typing on the forum, and telling the kids off for constantly asking me to do things, I feel like I never get any time to myself!!! lolololol ...
