    The following is an invalid logical argument.
    Abe is a Raven
    All Ravens I've seen are black
    Therefore Abe is black.

    It just so happens that I have a couple of bonnets, including one in my back yard without spare wheel supports.

    I don't think the hardtop has a lot to do with it. What would determine the add on would be the intended use, if the idea was to carry 4 very crowded people in the back the support was affixed to the bonnet.


    My first Land Rover 1969 - no bonnet spare - narrow transom - lights behind model headlamps modified by P.O.

    Most I have seen have not been fitted.

    Plus, if it was mine, with an alloy radiator support panel, I wouldn't bother either.

    My 107 is getting a steel radiator panel for this reason, being a trayback, I want to mount the wheel on the bonnet and don't want to crack up the alloy one.

    Hi Lotz-A-Landies

    If you would like another pic, I have one of the PMG when they used Landies.
