Hi,

It's quiet here so.....


I just moved my spare wheel from the wheel carrier to inside the back. It's standing up on the (us) drivers side wheel well in a hard top, and fits in there perfect. Fabbed up a small bracket to pull it towards the tub so it's locked in solid.

The difference in opening the rear door with no weight on it is unreal!

What size is the spare, ie how much space is taken up?

Wilbur,
Merv is talking about a D90 not a Disco.
What the hell are you doing on this board?
Aren't you a cardcarrying Discoweber? :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

It's worse that that folks, Red Star and no digi camera!!!!!

I'm meeting up with a buddy over the weekend (Ivor - a few of you folks have met him) and I'll get a few.

I had a wheel carrier on there, swinging from the bodywork. It was about 3 years old, and the bushes were well worn and it was rattling like hell.

The tire is a 35-12.50-15. There is about 2" or so over the tire before it hits the roof, so I guess a 37 would fit?

So, Pictures on Monday

he's also talking about a european 90 which has the metal top with no windows. So it's probably going to be quite different. Basically it's Merv's Molester Van.
