Those are the exact same Jerry cans as the metal ones that Autobarn sell, as well as pretty much everyone else.
I understand that the plastic ones will fit in them as well, but not too sure how they will go with the metal rubbing on them?

I have the plastic ones in my Kaymar and seem ok. Has scuff marks on them but that's about it.

Tried to find another brand at Auto Pro and other suppliers with no luck they just say we can get ARB $195. So if anyone does know another cheaper brand that fits in the cargo baskets etc let me know.

I have these and I don't have ARB jerry's.  I believe most 20l jerry's will fit.

I bought this holder as it has a slightly lower profile than the upright ones.

Its not the jerrys I want to know about its the actual dual holder,ARB is the only one I can come across as when I phoned Autopro etc they say all they can get is the ARB Holder.I want to know if there is another brand as ARB is quiet exspensive at $195.

Ahh sorry.  When I was looking for them ARB was the only mob that I found that had the Jerry holders that lay flat instead of upright.  There are others out there that are upright though.  They are expensive but pretty good kit.

Yeah looks like ARB have the monopoly on the lay flat version and they do look like they would work well for the intended purpose.Just have to see now if they can be clamped to a steel cage from Supercheap as there is no way im paying $800 plus $250 fitting for an ARB Deluxe Rack.

They have holes in the bottom you can put bolts through to a bracket etc.

I've been through the saga of the ARB dual jerry can holder . Firstly I fitted it to an ARB aluminium rack and found that you can't put the holder in the corners as the U clamps won't go through there . You have to put the holder in the middle of the rack , mine's at the rear but I had to elongate the U clamp holes to get a good fit .
Next thing you HAVE to use the ARB steel jerrys or the clamp arrangement will not fit . The plastic jerrys WILL NOT fit as the clamp will foul on the filler .
