FAQs

What does Uni. WC mean?

Universal Spare Wheel Carrier

What are the spacer requirements for a Uni. WC – depending on vehicle or bumper type?

  • Use a straight edge (wood, alu, steel etc), cut to a “L” shape 760x600mm, to make a jig and hold/clamp it to the tow ball plate to see how the std vehicle bumper effects spacing between it and Jig/Uni WC - i.e. work out how much space do you need between your jig and tow ball plate
  • For most Toyota Fortuners you need a “Toyota Fortuner drill/shim plate - 4mm”, to miss the lip of the top plastic step moulding
  • Isuzu you may need a “4 hole spacer plate - 16mm”
  • 2012-2022 T6 Ford rangers you will need a “6 hole spacer plate - 16mm”  

What if the M16x100mm full thread high tensile bolts (10.9) are too long?

  • You can grind them shorter and spray Zinc galvanizer on tips (rattle/spray can product).
  • They are supplied long since there is generally a lot of space for long bolts. But main reason is it allows you to add spacers.
  • Pro Tip – before cutting; first thread on a nut past where you want to cut. After cutting take nut off and it will clean your threads better.

What if the M16x100mm full thread high tensile bolts (10.9) are too SHORT?

You will need to buy M16 – High Tensile bolts – grade 10.9 (at the required length)

Why does the standard UNI WC have slightly tilted wheel angle?

  • Gives it a more rugged, sportier look.
  • It hugs the SUV’s back window better in some cases.
  • Most popular design in USA and Australia.
  • We do sell an “Uni. WC * - Wheel angle adapter Plate” that converts the 10degree wheel angle into a vertical one.
