Good swing away rear wheel carrier?
Could I get a few recommendations on swingaway rear wheel carriers, I would like something that is compatible with a rear NAS step? 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I bought the Britpart one, bit of a pain to line up and fit but it works well enough, plus £120 can't really complain! Fits with the NAS Step as well.

Are the pickup carriers the same as hardtop/CSW fittings?

Good to know the Mantec fits with the step! I was considering that one but their sales person couldnt confirm if it would fit with the NAS Step...

Gents stupid question, but I seem to be good at asking them ! do you use one just to take the weight off the back door, or is there another reason ?

yes, takes the weight off the back door, especially good when off-roading or holding oversized wheel/tyres
