My old Roadster had two flat square plates with a 4" spacer welded in between them. One bolted to the tub - the other had wheel studs welded to it for the wheel to bolt onto just like a hub.
I shall probably do the same for my Cabrio

I'm currently thinking a steel plate inside the tub with long bolts coming through, another plate on the outside to hold it "in place" and then wheel nuts to hold the spare onto the body...
Anyone got any better ideas in theory or practise?
