Rear snow shovel mount was created by myers647
Hi i was board yesterday at work and decided to mount a shovel on the spare wheel ready for the white stuff if it ever turns up. Its easily removed by two wing nuts.

Thanks

James

Nice work. Any chance of a close up photo showing how it mounts and how to release the shovel from it?

Thanks mate it was easy to knock up, I could make some more quite easy if anyone is interested for cost of materials.

Thanks

I want one :laugh: Its the simple things that I like.. Like me :woohoo:
Yeah it sound like a good little mod. ;)
Am I right in saying that you have used the nut on the rear wheel as the bolt to hold the bracket!!
Really it is so simple and yet so effective well done I just wish I thought of it :angry:

Thanks

Might just be worth drilling through a retaining stud and popping a little R clip through as butterfly nuts can shake lose with the vibration, would'nt like you to lose the shovel as snow is forecast this week! :D :D

Good point mate I'm going to leave the two nylock nuts on to be honest it only take seconds to get the shovel on and off.

Thanks

Cracking idea this! Is there any possibility of making it secure to a certain extent? Like securing it with a pad lock or something similar?
