I bought one for my swing arm directly from IEF engineering in JHB. Ordered it over the web, http://www.iefeng@iafrica.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, Lizelle Naude is my contact. Front runner also by from ief and far as I know also 4x4 Mega World. Not the bearing kit but the whole swing arm with the bearing kit.

Thanks Mark - will pop in to see them, i saw that post before but the last entry was that the deal went "south", saw the Burquip label - wasn't sure if it was the same unit that IEF use, couldn't find it on their website.

Thanks Jacques, didn't think that they would sell the bearing only, will try them after Burquip.

Did you ever build your bike rack?
I'd love to know if someone has built a similar rack. I have the Outback bumper with one spare wheel carrier, and am planning to put a bike rack on a second swingarm. If you know of any examples please share.

Hi
Correct me if i am wrong, but I have heard that they use a VW Golf's front hub, for spare wheel swing-arm? I would think it can stand up to the stresses of what you looking to do? And it's cheaper too.
