it will actually fit on the back door if you carry it dead flat. That way it won't bust your taillight when you open it, and you can squish it out of the way to open the LH door. Heaps of weight hanging off a bit of tin though.
when I was talking to the engineer dude last time I asked him about tail-light visibility and such if I was to put a spare on the bak again. He got out the protactors and stuff and worked it out. Fo a 37~38 inch tyre it has to be mounted dead centre to be legal. And has to be quite close to the doors.

Do a search on Pirate. There is a thread on there about what people have used as the pivot bit.

Picking one up covered in shiat and tossing it on the roof would require 48 weetbix + 2gms coke.

Well, that poxy Ziggybuilt 80 series carried its spare on a roofrack, along with the portable crane that used to fit on one corner of the rack to lift and lower the spare.

Keep in mind that these things are pretty blood heavy .. I weighed one of my 35x12.5 claws on a crappy 15x8 steel wheel the other day .. 44Kg .. dunno if I would want something that heavy on my roof ..
