I used two 1/2" bolts with large washers to mount the spare tire. Although the rules don't explicitly allow for this type of mounting for the spare, it is in keping with the allowances for mounting ballast.[/b]
Does anyone else see a problem with that in terms of rules? If it is mounted "in keeping with the allowances for mounting ballast", shouldn't it be mounted in the only legal place in the car to actually mount that ballast?

I'm not saying that I disagree with people doing this (I mean, it is safer), but that's a bad arguement that people could easily flag you on.....and we all know how things like that have been taking on a life of their own around here.
