yeh that equals Pricey, i was wondering if there are any 'off the shelf' items available

yeh that was my next plan of action if i couldnt get it to work. may have to do it.

i think it was a XB/XC ford.

in VIC there is no law saying you MUST have a spare tyre, but IF you do it must be properly secured. (and roadworthy:P) if it isnt in the car, you have to secure any straps or anything that would normaly secure the tyre. its legal to not have/not have it fitted aslong as its done a certain way! in t...

as above im after it to turn over one of my spare mighty boy's!

im in Melb, and will pay postage if anyones got one.
