mounting spare on roof rails (disco)

Jan 19, 2005 0 Replies

Hi



i'm busy trying to finish off preps for the big trip to morocco and need to mount a secound spare some where.



My thoughts are on the roof using the factory fitted roof rails with some cross braces added to spread the load.



so questions are:


  • how heavy is a wheel and tyre? much differance with steel/alloy?
  • whats the max load the roof bars will support?
  • is there something out there already i can buy to do this?


I've many roof boxes mounted on the rails so i should think there would be a weight issue.
