Hello all!

 

As some of you know, am looking out for a new G. Have whittled it down to three G's, all LWB diesels, but far from standard! 

Looking forward to posting pictures up soon.

However am really interested in getting a spare wheel locker. Am not sure if I am using the correct name here, but I found a user here (KevinStuttgart) with pictures of what I am looking. Have taken a picture from SUMMER DRIVE WALES 2015, which shows the rear of a white G-wagen with what appears to be a lockable storage area which also serves to secure a tyre to the rear door. Am gonna PM KevinStuttgart to see if I might get a direct answer but in the meantime I thought I'd open this up to the floor.

Picture of the storage locker attached:

I wouldn't put too much additional weight on the rear door. The door catches will wear and the stress causes the sealer and paint in the rear panel seams to crack, leading to traces of rust.

 I Purchased the locker from G Wagen accessories in America, it is very light as it is basically two flat steel plates with three braces. If you e mail Karl Vogler then he will give you shipping details etc. From memory about $500.00.

 Regards
