Default Chariot spare tire mount

Hi all!

My Z210 came with a Chariot trailer. It, however, did not have a spare. I see a mount under the boat on the starboard side. It seems to be missing some sort of retention for the wheel (J-hook or big cartridge bolt). Any idea on where I can find this retention setup?

Cheers
Brett

    Being Chariot Trailers are no longer in existence as a business , I think your only option is to fabricate your own mounting rod or rods. A shop would probably set you up with something workable at a fair price.
    A piece or two of 1/2" rod bent and threaded shouldn't be bad.
    Heck you can even use all thread if you want.

    My prestige also has this setup, but it did not come with any type of lock etc. I have not purchased a spare, but I did cut a few pieces of "composite board" that will lay down in mine to keep the tire from laying completely flat and rubbing the metal. I also purchased a generic masterlock cable lock with pad. My plan is to add some type of threaded stud setup similar to this:

    I may skip using the locking cable and just put a locking lug on instead.

    Hope this helps.

    I was lurking on ebay and found the ultimate carrier- it would be a great alternative to mounting your spare underneath - and I think I may just build one of these instead. This not only gives you the spare tire carrier - but also a hub assembly (which is nearly impossible to find and replace on a weekend - away from home). I also found a nice jack that I will be buying (it can be mounted on the trailer as well). I will link both below.

    Thanks,
    Nick
