Morning folks .. so looking for advice or pointers.

Have had LPG fitted to my XLT and have mounted the tank underneath in the spare wheel resess. Now have a muckle big wheel in the back. looking to mount this externally if possible .. either a swing away arm at the rear or on the roof.

Has anyone done this or can you advise on a better option to mount the spare externally ... also if there are mounts out there as after market parts . .wheres the best UK source.

Cheers

Ian
 






I'd look into a carrier that mounts to the trailer hitch. Random examples, none mine:

I've never been a fan of swing-away spare carriers, but here is a version that also uses the hitch:
