My Quick n Nasty Reverse Light & Shovel Holder

[10G]

Because you kindly asked @GQtdauto

Just some quick pics of a reversing light & shovel/spade holder I made for the Y61.

I've wired up the light so I can turn it on when needed, it's not connected to the reversing lights.

Well done mate I like it .

Does that spacer have the proper sized studs and nuts?

Seems to. It's an old one I used on a Hilux.

I like this design. What holds the shovel to stop it rattling around or falling off the mount hooks - is it sandwiched by yje tyre against the bracket? Bit hard to see,

Sorry PeeBee missed your reply. I just use an Ocky/Elstic strap around the shovel & the vertical pole.

Ok thanks, might look to blanch some of this onto my wheelcarrier

10G looks good the ocky strap would hold it snug.

As an option for those interested, I pick up a second hand ARB H/Lift jack BRKT that clamps the shovel handle quite well (do even hang a 12mm steel cable spool off it ocassionally). Adjusted brkt stand off distance from rim dish face so the shovel mouth pulls up against tyre sidewall. Secures well.

Millweld rear bar - swing spare wheel carrier & dual jerry (tools in one J holder). Behind (back of) spare wheel / carrier have fixed a reverse light brkt and adapted a Kaymar H/Lift jack Brkt back of swing arm to secure jack (tucked away in between door and spare wheel)..

And yes thats a tree branch that fell on the top (few blending scratches only).
