Really stuck now.....
I currently have the spare wheel attached to the rear bulkhead mounting arm using one wheel nut. This allows the wheel to move around a lot and it bangs against the bulkhead so I've been looking for something a bit more secure.
Land Rover have two mounts: The first is just a bracket (£5.99) which supposedly holds the spare in place by sitting across the wheel and being held by one nut in the centre. This doesn't fit Boost alloys and looks as bad as the current solution.
The other one is the Tomb Raider holder which is a replacement bulkhead extension bar, and a plate with three bolts which fit through three holes in the spare and can then be bolted on securely (£99!). Unfortunately the extension arm is about 2 inches too short as the canopy bracket on the top of the rear bulkhead protrudes about 2 inches and I want to leave it on.
I can't use a swingarm mount as I have a full length Patriot roof rack with twin access ladders and I don't want to bonnet mount it.
Anybody seen a suitable bracket anywhere? Looked around but can't find one!
