Is it ok to mount the spare on front of watercooled?

Post by stuey69 »

Anyone know if it's a stupid idea to mount the spare wheel on the front of my 1983 1.9 petrol engined watercooled hi-top? Wondered about air flow. If it's not that stupid does anyone know where I can get the bracket?

Cheers,

Stu

Cheers for advice - I think I'll leave it where it should be!
