Hello all,

I've a Series 3 88", converted to a pickup and I'm after some information on my options for carrying a spare wheel.

I've got the bulkhead mount fitted, but since I changed to a Bikini roof, I'm struggling with the fume curtain fowling the spare.

Whilst I like the look of the bonnet mount, with my wide wheels I'm guessing visibility is going to be a problem. Though I think the biggest problem is going to be lifting the bonnet at one of the unexpected stops.

I have the drop tailgate fitted, is there something I can fit to the outside of that? Most of the swing away jobbies, seem to be for the Defender, unless they're the same?

My last Series 3 had a small bracket at the rear of the passenger to rear bulkhead in he centre with a threaded bar and nut and flat plate to hold the wheel in place.
