Fixing a spare wheel on a special body

[Malcolm Parker]

Where I live in North Yorkshire the roadside hawthorn hedges are cut by a tractor with a flail and this leaves the road covered with brutal thorns.  I have suffered many punctures with the modern cars but in over thirty years, none in the Austins.  I hate the trend for modern cars having larger wheels and lower profile tyres, they are totally unsuited to rural roads.
I have fitted 12 volt  cigarette lighter sockets under the dashboard of all my 7's and as well as the usual spare wheel, I carry the small tyre inflator that came with my modern Renault when I go on a long journey.
Regarding spare wheel mounting for a trials car, totally concur with Steve above.
