Question about M38 fuel can and spare tire mounts spacers

Post by RandallF »

Hello,

Preparing to mount fuel can and spare tire carriers on a M38 aftermarket tailgate.
I have the excellent photos posted by Wes showing the mount locations.

Can anyone provide the spacer thickness for the fuel can carrier and the spare tire carrier?

Thanks,
Randall

Fuel can spacers are approx 9/16" and made out of solid stock, drilled for 3/8" bolt.

Spare tire mounts to the tailgate without spacers, except for top 2, easy thing is to mount carrier then use 1/2" pipe for spacer, easily measured for length.
