Reproduction rear spare tire bracket

[Paul Bjarnason]

I ordered a replacement rear spare tire bracket from one of the major parts suppliers. It fits just fine, but I wonder if it's strong enough, as it appears to be made out of aluminum or pot metal and only weighs maybe half as much as my broken original. Has anyone had trouble with the reproduction spare tire brackets breaking with your spare rolling down the road after you? I'm thinking that I should send this one back and get a good used rear spare tire bracket. Thanks in advance.
