Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

PARE wheel carriers now being manufactured by Holmes Engineering Ltd. are designed to fit on to the web of a chassis main frame or rear cross-member and are constructed from mild steel pressings, electrically welded. The spare wheel is lifted up to the mounting plate by means of a steel cable which is wound on the shaft using a wheelbrace as a handle.

When the wheel is lifted into position it is bolted to the plate from the underside by bolts with the same hexagon size as that of the wheelnuts. The lifting spindle incorporates a ratchet safety device, and the units are available for either sixor eight-stud wheels. A version for 10-stud wheels is to be introduced shortly.

Made by: Holmes Engineering Ltd., Hollinshead Works, St. James' Road, Blackburn.
