No worries mate, No instuctions for mine either, Is yours the Bushranger?

The simplist way to describe it is that the large clips, Well they join over the inside edge of the rim not under it.
So one clip from the back through the spoke the the other meeting it through the opposite side.

Ok here goes,

Firstly undo the buckles, Then extended the straps as far as possible. This will make life easier later on. Then clip them together in a loop. They will be clipped with the buckle facing the bag. This is how will be around the tyre. Undo them again


Make a loop like this. I have sat the basketball in there to show how it should be. Where the ball is sitting is where the tyre and rim are.






Place the buckle through the rim like the pic above.


This is where things get a little tricky. Place to top section over the tyre. You may need to loosen off your spare depending on how much room you have for you hands before placing the bag on. It can be very fiddly the first time but once you have the buckles in the correct postion you can leave them.

I have the strap loose in these pics.


Once the clips are connected I use the tensioner buckle to hold it tight against the tyre. It will loosen off from time to time but its easy to fix. After the Kays I have with mine swinging off the back it has never fallen off!
You will have excess strap left after you tension the bag tight. i just tuck this back through to stop it waving about.

Hope this helps a little

Cheers
Rich

Hi,

We have an "Infront" one hanging off our spare on the camper which permanently contains our cgear matting and the shower tent, and the crab pots from time to time. The only thing with the infront one, we originally bought the massive bag (which hung too low) so then we down sized to the slightly smaller one which is the perfect size, but after about 12 months of it permanetly living in the sun , the skinny little straps on it broke (luckily we didnt loose everything in it on the road! - we had just travelled 700km when i noticed after we pulled up that only 1 strap was still on), but after a quick trip to the canvas place and $50 later they sewed some 50mm seatbelt strap on, its good as new again! (I highly recommend the upgrade for piece of mind!)

We also have an MSA (Older model) hanging of the car spare for rubbish or wet clothes.

I've already purchased the maxi bag. The one that I've got coming is the smaller of the 2 maxi bags that they sell.
But thanks anyway.
