Where to fit a spare wheel
I have V6 which has been converted to run on LPG,because of this I have no spare wheel. Does anyone have any good ideas where I could possible fit one, many thanks Pete.

I think that some members have it on the rear ladder, I'm sure they'll come along soon.

Re: Where to fit a spare wheel
I have had a tyre seal put in all 4 tyres....it is the "heavy duty" military type stuff which will seal a 8mm hole.
I normally rely on this but I can put a spare wheel on a modifyed roof rack.....it takes 2 mins to fit or remove if I decide I want to carry it.......putting them on a boot ladder makes the tailgate more or less unuseable because of the weight..

I keep a 'skinny' under the back seat just to get me home or to the nearest tyre shopPete Mac wrote:I have V6 which has been converted to run on LPG,because of this I have no spare wheel. Does anyone have any good ideas where I could possible fit one, many thanks Pete.

Wow useful info already about the spare wheel and lpg which had not occurred to me; its an absolute must for me though to be able to justify running the vehicle so a smallish sacrifice - guess ill have to make sure I have the excellent roadside and relay rescue mentioned elsewhere in the forum!
Its possible to mount a space saver skinny on a ladder over the tailgate (try to source fresh rubber though - a 12 year old tyre that was crap when new will now be extremely dodgy) & could be useful for very short emergencies.
Plus stick some of This Stuff in the tyres, it pretty much makes them puncture proof.
