Nigel Riches Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 At last years Stoneleigh Kit car show someone was placing advert sheets about a bag which is circular in shape and designed to be stowed in the spare wheel. Anybody out there got the contact details, as there is a big trip ahead and any extra room to get the "handbrakes" bits and bobs in would be appreciated, anything for a quiet life, without ear plugs, cheers Nigel. 1982. 5 speed, clamshells.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted June 27, 2004 Area Representative Share Posted June 27, 2004 I had such a bag made for me by CIT in Walton on Thames; 01923 244 311 (ask for Martyn). To use it I ommited the bolt which holds the spare wheel in place and used a rachet strap to secure the spare in place instead. I found this a pretty good solution, although I think it would be possible to do a better job next time. Whatever you do: pack everything in plastic inside as in this position it will get soaking wet whatever you do! Do contact me if you want some details.

Simon S Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Shagbat was using one in Le Mans this year. Not sure if he bought it or had it made, but I'm sure he will be more than happy to give you the details. S5 SVN Simon and Tracy Still recovering from Le Mans!!!

Frying Pan Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Seems a pretty pointless idea. I keep my spare wheel in the shed 😬 Guy See some pictures of the build here. First 2000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Nigel Stewart Golding makes custum bags designed to fit in the spare wheel. You can still use the normal fixing bracket as well. Tel: 01295 810487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-B Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Mav and Miss Mav had a novel idea -- second hood bag mounted in front of the roll bar. it also keeps your kit behind seats from getting wet, so another interesting idea. one of the LtL 2003 tourers has made a bracket off of the bottom of each roll bar 45 degree down tube, and mounted 2 motorcycle paniers....very chic' Steve B Big Black Beast^3 Lighten up everybody....NOW USA 2005: How the West Was Driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfect, fits exactly and even has a carrying handle. Just used it this weekend on a blat that 8 of us made to Yorkshire from the Beds/Bucks region.

Sheds Moderator Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 In NZ they have lots of outdoor shops - you may find a good bet to be a canoe bag - heavy PVc, roll top, totally waterproof, tough, fill it up and stuff it in. Job done. 30 litre ones are about 20 GB pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
