    Where was the spare located in the Supervan? I can't find any trace of a mount for it?

    Sorry for the delay posting the pics.

    Here is the SuperVan spare tire mount.

    And to compare, here is the spare tire mount for a short Falcon van. It is in two pieces, The large part that holds the tire to the side of the van and the smaller part that wraps around the edge of the tire.

    For many years I carried a bike rather than a spare. Never had a tire blow, but had many other reasons to break out the bike.
