Yeah no prob mate it is a weird place to put the jack under there i mean God forbid someone has a accident that would make a nice projectile flying through the air.

Mine is held in front of the air cleaner by a velcro strap bolted to the inner fender. Velcro is very strong. The chock plate then is supposed to cover it.

Who owns a red disco out Ippy way ,who changed a tyre on a grey import Surf at Petrie and now cannot find said wheel brace.
If you dunno where the jack is kept,why bother about the brace????

The brace and Jack levers are held by Velcro straps under the rear passenger seats on Disco's, Just gotta luv that Velcro,

mine's bolted to the inner guard in front of the brake booster. looks/feels solid, always assumed this was the standard spot?

That's because your car been fitted with a second battery in front of the air cleaner.
