I got the last piece today.  Its a 2x2x1" Magnet.  It holds 246lbs of dead weight.  this is what will hold the carrier to the door.  Pretty slick no? ;)

I had to put a hotch in the magnet so I can pry it off stuff.  Here's a shot of it in action.

You may want to upgrade that.  Your tire is going to have more pulling force when you are accelerating.

I had to get one that I could still manhandle, almost lost a finger putting the notch in it.  And I think it will be fine, I can pull it off, but it take some force, I'm confident in it.
