Here are mine installed. I must say that the fitting of four simple 5/16" nuts and bolts on your own, can cause serious cramp. Ron

Ron, If only they used capsulated nuts on carriers, would save alot of swearing, hey that drain plug looks nice!,

Ha Ha Yes Kevin. After I placed the four bolts through the holes, I put four 1/2" spanners wedged in the correct direction and weighted with metal blocks, thus enabling me to fix the nuts from underneath in one go. No doubt someone will tell me the nuts should be on the inside........But I'm not that clever.

To hold bolts in from underneath use a magnet.

No problem for me Rick.
I said I wasn't that clever Robert. Plus the need to own four good magnets and ability to climb in and out more times than I did |

Hi Ron, I use a couple of old Nissan Scissor jacks for holding the bolts/nuts in place under the carrier when working solo, I wonder what the record is for in and out of a carrier over a 12 hour period, i think i might have done 50.
Kev.
