I have one of the later model Fabricor rear swing away racks and basket for sale. The rack holds one tire, two jerry cans (water or gas), and a high lift jack. I also have the matching removable basket that can be attached to the top to add extra storage space. I used this on my 1973 Series 3, but have been advised by British Pacific that it will also fit a Defender. If you want to run it on a Defender I think most likely you would have to remove the factory NAS tow hitch/bumper assembly, but if you are creative and can weld/fabricate parts you might be able to use both at the same time. I am not sure at this point, but it is something to consider.
Both parts are in good shape and have been painted silver. I also have two spare bushings for the swing away assembly, which is fitted with a grease zerk that works and in my experience did not rattle at all. Often times I need to use my Series 3 as a "truck" with the tailgate down while driving, thus the rack is no longer on the truck.
$150 for both pieces. I would prefer a local sale as this thing is pretty heavy. Shippment would most certainly require truck shipping by Menlo or some other similar carrier.
