Brackets are the same for all vehicles in 2006 inc Freelander. Could well be same as used on Camel.

It's the same plate that also were used on the camel trophy cars for the sandladders and spare wheels.

If using the LR spare wheel carrier ensure you get the right one. Disco 1 and Defender ones are the same. Disco 2 is different having a smaller stud pattern 120mm dia as opposed to 165mm dia. The 6 mounting holes are in the same place though.
I do not think 2003 racks had wheel mounts on them as wheels appear in all sorts of different places on the roofrack.
I have included a sketch for the bracket for those DIY'ers as it would be easy to make.
If anyone wants it send me a message include an email address as I am unable to upload.
Hope this helps

A bit like this....
thats the piece i thought mark was describing, hence my question woud it fit under the rack or is it a somple bolt on top of rack and use it as intended with locking nut, having looked at the picture i guess ive answered my own question, top fix and use as designed:blush:
