RHD... spare wheel diagonally opposite driver, i.e. the same side as yours.

they're all the same regardless of which side the steering wheel's on aren't they ?

hope you get sorted out 8)

well the legs/brackets that fit the bed to the bulkhead only allow it to be fitted to the side with the spare wheel. the reason i bought a 3/4 was to avoid the spare wheel.

any thoughts

well, without seeing the thing it's difficult to advise (can you post up a picture ?) but as i said to my wife the other day when i was fixing the... i've actually forgotten - i'm great at mending stuff but my short term memory is definitely going - if it was made by man then it can be repaired by man (within reason, obviously) so i don't see how you wouldn't be able to modify it to fit ?

get that picture up :wink:

or... put your spare wheel somewhere else...

way ahead of you! started chopping and welding today!

it just seems odd that they made it to fit onto the spare wheel side of the vehicle! unless its been manafactured wrong or i am overlooking something.

plus i cant phone them to ask them (shut for holidays)

 

[the councillor]

way ahead of you!

mate, there are sloworms ahead of me :lol:

the pictures on their website seem to show the 3/4 bed mounted on either side :?

i'm sure you'll get it sussed in the end :wink:

 

[Araon]

I have to agree they show the bed monted on both sides and I cant see what in the frame requires the necessity to use the wheel well or what fouls the placement

Send it back, get a refund and buy a westy bed. I bought one, and have to say, I was not impressed in the slightest. It doesn't fit, and when it is in, there is a big gap between it and the rear luggage area.Instructions such as 'assemble it , see where it touches ,and thats the mounting points' don't inspire confidence, not if they have been selling them for years. Just my opinion mind. Oh and they are not cheap either.
