Sparesafe - quick question!

Just took delivery of and fitted a sparesafe today to the van.

Just a quick one for people who have it on how tight we want the bolts to be / how they found it when finishing bolt - I can't seem to get the bolt to nip up without the sparesafe spinning round a bit - not sure if that's just how you need to finish tightening them? To be fair the standard bolts aren't super tight - but always worth double checking what others have found.

Few pics attached of how it is - thanks!

Looks the same as mine, I had to brace it but only tightened enough so it didn't rattle.

I also dipped both bolts in a bit of copper grease as if I need them to undo in anger it's going to be when I only have the van wheel brace...

Nice one - I’ve nipped mine a bit tighter than you i think and in the end just braced it with my palm and no issues. I actually quite like the look too!
