Good to hear, even better to see actually.
Very sure you needed that wheel carrier with that rim any tyre combo.

Did you have to put spacers behind the bumperette? The ones I saw interfere with the lower hinge bracket.

I put the wheel carrier bracket on top of the bumperette(one hole matched, the one with the very long bolt) I then fabricated a spacer the same thickness as the bumperette from a few sheets of mild steel I had leftover from a welding project. Used the little backplate to position the holes, and it worked a treat. It's gone for MOT now, but when its back I'll get some close ups, it's not perfect but it does the job.
