Default Homemade Rear bar and Carrier

I'll be starting on my rear bar on Thursday if I get the stocker off and get the steel (need to confirm some measurements before I start), but first a quick question, anyone know if there are issues with having tabs protruding from a rear bar? I dont really need them as I have a towbar for recovery but it will help to strengthen the mounting point as they'll pass straight through the box section of the bar so I may as well put them in if they are not illegal.

And just to make the thread worthwhile here is a pic of the pivot and stub I ordered for the tyre carrier, I'm hoping it'll be strong enough to carry the tyre, highlift and a jerry can if needed.

Beefy pivot with Holden bearings, the swingaway arm gets welded to this.


And Stub axle to fit


Cheers
Steve
