Hi all,

I ve just bought some new alloys for my 1990 Defender shod with 265/75/R16s
and would like to mount the spare on the bonnet. I dont seem to be able to
find anyone who sells a mounting kit for anything but Series vehicles. Does
anyone know who sells them, or any other ideas on how to mount it? Thanks

Before you look any further, just lay the 265 on your bonnet and sit
in the drivers seat. I suspect you will have to sit on the roof to
see where you are going....

Absolutely. I would advise the OP to do a Google search of this NG as this
subject has been covered several times in the past.

We do one - do a google sarch on this group and you should
find the parts list. It's for a Td5, but there are only
one or two differences - your looking at around 80 quid
plus some nuts and bolts and rivets...

Well the mounting for my wheel on the roofrack is primitive beyond belief
one single bolt holds it to a u shaped clamp.

Technically all you need is a few bolts right through the bonnet and it
would do the job, never mind the expencive kits.

It will ruin your bonnet though.....quite some (moving) load.
Kind regards,
