35" full size spare mount

I needed a place to mount the spare. Hate to waste half the bed. It should fit underneath. But will hang a little too low.

So I made this out of 1/4 steel tube and flat stock.

I wanted the shiny side out to protect it from junk I haul.

10deg angle allowed a flush fit with bed rail.

Hitch

 

Not pictured is a 3/16 x 3" flat stock under the floor with 2 nuts welded on. Using Nissan lug studs (1/2" hole) and a standard 1/2" hitch lock or pin to secure tire to mount.
