Ah but the wheels are exempt from the radius test if they are inside the mudguards, but your spare tyre is exposed.

My spare spent the IVA test resting against their garage wall along with my tool box.

That is unless they are fitted with spinners like wot the Cobra lot insist on fitting to make their cars look authentic.

I bonded a bit of steel to the underside of the boot lid and made tapped a 10mm threard through it. I've a very long bit of studing that sticks out from the centre of the spare wheel carrier and goes through a Ford spare wheel boss (as taken from the donor car) and a big nyloc nut to hold it all down.

Sandie made me a spare wheel cover in tan coloured leather cloth. I'll post a photo later.
