Bonnet mounted spare wheel - revisited
lee celtic:
I'm 100kg :oops: best steer clear of roof racks ;)
stuntman:
Haha, I'm 16 and a bit stone and it held my weight without stress, although I'm not planning on making a habbit of bouncing up and down on it :twisted:

I do it all the time. I wash the caravan roof from the roof of the disco, put a towel on the windscreen before a frost night whilst on the bonnet, wash the disco roof, whilst on the roof, put xmas decorations up. The list is endless. The most stable step ladder I have ever used!! :D

:lol: you fat people! :lol: :lol:
i cant help thinking its the odd-way about doing a task... maybe a split windscreen next? ;) if you making a roofrack, why not make a wheel rack in it? it also means you wont be limited to a certain size wheel...
as for height.... 40mm body lift = extra 40mm between engine and bonnet, as engine is chassis mounted, and bonnet is body mounted.
remember cutting a hole = weakening of the bonnet, thus "sag" will be your next problem
good luck ;)
