took me a while to work it out!
They only work for the original wheels i think.
The L shaped gubbins go upside down at an angle with the bolts through them.
Sorry its hard to explain!
.... i'll take a pic of mine tomorrow when i put my wheel back on the bonnet.
Been painting the old girl, hammeright smooth dark green!

Did you get your gubbins sorted? I would like to put my spare on the bonnet - where did you get you bits?

place the wheel on the bonnet upside down
make sure two of the wheel nut holes line up with the holes in your bonnet
place the l shape brackets on the wheel with the hole over the wheelnut hole
make sure the lug is pointing downwards
insert bolt and tighten clockwise
hope this helps

Cheers! Thanks for the help. Any idea where you can buy the bracket from?

Dont think thats right. You cant get two wheelnut holes to line up with the bolt holes. The bolts both go through the centre of the wheel each with an L bracket on it, lug downward. You the swing the L bracket to clamp the wheel when you tighten the bolts with the wheel brace. You therefore never have to fully remove either bolt the get the wheel of or on. Tyre should now sit centralised on the rubber pads if fitted which protect you paintwork.

The studs aint meant to come out are they??
As they have a split pin at the end (Engine bay end) to stop you removing them completly......
Picture 2 is how I now have mine, but you are right, it does not look right...

I done it another way and I'm going for the discovery spare wheel carriers front bonnet and back door, for the bonnet I might make some form of polo cushion to protect the bonnet though.
