ZR2 tire carrier on a 1st gen?

Just finishing up. I don't like the fact that the tire is going to make the shackle on the passenger side useless unless the swing arm is open :thumbdwn: and I made the clearance to tight on the hinge and already popped some of the paint off. :thumbdwn: but the swing arm is tight and rattle free and you can literally hang off of it. I should have used teflon bushings or recessed bearings but I did it with a drill press when I needed a mill. I like the GM latching mechanism but it was a pain to attach it to the rear door because of the internal support brace running right behind where I placed it.
