Luggage space is so limited in the MGA (or Sunbeam) that I wanted to
make sure all cubic inches were effectively utilized. The spare tire is
mounted top side up, and there seemed to be space between the center of
the wheel and the trunk floor. I had a local upholstery shop sew up a
"tool kit" 12" in diameter by 5" high with a zipper about 3/4 of the way
around the rim. I used some leftover leather, but vinyl or canvas would
work as well. This is perfect for seldom used but essential parts and
tools. This idea will probably have applications to other LBC's as
well.
