Cheers Nomad the spare wheel was mounted a bit further fwd to where it is now, its bolted to the toolbox and its just lifted up and out , I plan on building a new ct in the near future. This is sort of a R@D project to see if it worked and didnt leak ,on the new ct the spare wheel will go under at the back and a pole holder will go across the front behind where the wheel is now.The new one will be a walk through and have drawers fwd into the toolbox area above the poleholders it was designed for jerry cans to fit as well but we mostly stay in caravan parks so we dont need them. Cheers
