HI all,

        Please keep answers to this on list.  I heard BenT has developed something but I don’t have the details yet.  I’m using the Van Cafe holder but would prefer my original clamshell with a reasonable modification.

I recently acquired a spare wheel with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO
LT 215/75R15 tire on it and, if possible, would like to store it in
the clamshell of my 2wd 89 Westy.  Has anyone successfully made this
work and if so, could you share details as to how you had to modify
the clamshell, please?
Thanks in advance.
