I must need to go to specsavers as i cannot a boot mounted spare wheel cover rod or bracket???It is on ebay - not mine
Thanks i was actually thinking if gas struts would workHi, To be honest both the rod and the bracket holding it to the boot lid are simple fabrications and could be made from scratch, which I'm sure some other kind soul could furnish more details of.

Hi i like the sound of that have you any pictures pleaseI have a gas strut on my boot mounted spare. Works Great and was an easy install.
The "gas strut guy" measured the length of travel along with the weighted boot , and he came up with the appropriate strut. I then installed it.
When not in use,ie no mounted spare tyre, It flicks out of the way

The weighted boot and strut travel has direct bearing on what you will have to work with.Hi GRTV8,
Thanks for the pictures food for thought there i was hoping to attach the gas strut to the bracket area but i can see your thinking with you set up
If i can't get the bracket and rod i'm thinking two not so heavy duty gas struts one either side to balance/share the load and forces in two areas rather than all in one
Wow cool thanks Chris much appreciatedI'm a little snowed under between work and building up P6 electric windows, but will get into the shed this weekend..
