Yes, if you do this:

Have someone locally cut the old plate out, and weld a new plate that matches the 8 bolt pattern for the H2.

Or you can try this it works on the H2 perfectly and it also secures the gas cap making it tamper proof, it might also work on the H3.

I've added some pictures and commentary to the review.

I've added pictures showing the additional amount of space the carrier takes up, how it relates to departure angle, rear hatch opening clearance, a closer view of the lock, and the use of a proper colored can.

I also show a side by side view of my H1's can carrier height and my wife's H3 can carrier height - it's very interesting to see the difference.

I like that carrier, the problem is - where do you bolt it? The H3 doesn't have a swing away bar like the H2 does or the H1 does with aftermarket carriers.

Ah, I was wondering that about the H3, there in lies the problem. Maybe to the bumper that is what it was originally designed for, albeit on a British military D90

No can do - the rear door swings towards the driver's side.
