It may be down to tyre size you were running or type of bonnet mount that you had

the 1 ton series (with wider/bigger tyres) used a version of the station wagon rear door mount on the bonnet BTW

yeah is that the 3 threaded offset prong jobbie?

I have a 7.50 x 16 and the standard defender bonnet mount with the 3 inline prongs, 2 with bolts that thread in and one to fit a lock to

I think so , as I have the three threaded rod type on my 110 CSW bonnet, and they have six nuts 3 above and 3 below HTSH

When young and daft, wheel was a good place to sit with a 12 bore and hunt fox's and rabbit's until one night crossing a field at about 20 mph wheel dropped into a hole about a foot deep[farmer had removed a rock and forgot to fill the hole] and I went skyward, came back down on the wing and just managed to hang on. Visability for the driver was all ways the problem with this set up.

I will admit off road you can't see what the nearside front wheel is doing, it's handy having a passenger as a spotter : D

In road though make not much difference imo

Well it would be with someone sitting on the bonnet

If you had a hottie sitting on the bonnet there would be no need to look at the road at all. Would probably have to fit two props then though..

I have my spare on the back door as I find I need a long extension to be able to undo the nuts when it's on the bonnet, having said that I might put it back on the bonnet when I do a trip to Morocco as I will be using the back door a lot.
