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

No and yes :mrgreen:

Cooling is compromised as it is, no need to make it worse
