5th wheel set up

Postby Jeroen » Tue Apr 13, 2010 10:53 pm

hey got an mk7 without the set up for the 5th wheel. Previous owner had a flat at night in the rain, kids in the car ... the wheel would not move so he decides to jerk of the spare wheel how he did that .. don't even try to explain it! ... i have that wheel locked up in the trunk but i need the space for my tools so can anyone send me some pic's or detailed plan of the iron plate that holds the wheel up to the frame of the car? ford dealer wont let me have a look at it because he knows i'm gonna replicate it :-).


cheers

I suggest you get an ETIS disk off eBay. These disks only cover up to the MK6 (not the MK7) but I think that the spare wheel (the 5th wheel) carrier is the same for both.
