Teraflex Tire Carrier?

what is the intent of the 3 smaller holes tapped towards the left side of the hd hinge? is that for a cb mount potentially? my "old style" teraflex cb mount is NOT compatible with the hd hinge, which sucks. just wondering if there is a bracket that teraflex is putting out for this carrier or if i need to do some fab work?

The factory bolt size for the bolts that holds the tire carrier at M8x1.25x30. You should get 2 bolts from Lowe's or home depot that are about a 1/4" longer than the stock bolts

I'd do that except for the fact that I've already used that location for a bracket that I fabbed up for a backup light. What are the 3 smaller tapped holes for towards the left side of the carrier? The hi-lift mount holes are on the right and are larger so not sure what the other 3 are for. I'm thinking these would work for attaching a home brew cb bracket...

I already had a spacer because of the size of my tire I needed more height to clear the bumper. Here is a picture of the install right before the tire was put back on, and one with the tire on. The new terraflex hinge only spaces the tire out about 3/16 of an inch. If you needed a spacer to lift your tire for clearance before, you will need one again.

You may want to look into the adj tire carrier bracket they offer too.
