Hi
I have stripped and fettled our special and would like to attach the spare wheel to the back of the car, behind the petrol tank. Please see picture attached of the back end of the car at present. The body has been removed.
As you will see, there are two chassis extensions and a cross member that support the framework for the body at the back as well as the mounting for the tank. You will also see a couple of steel bands forming a well inside the framework, which is where the spare wheel has sat previously.
I would appreciate any advice/suggestions on the best type of mounting to make to fit the spare wheel securely right behind the petrol tank, although not touching it.
I have a couple of ideas but am not sure if they are that good.
Many thanks
Rod Shaw
