Hi guys,
Just spitballin' here but I've been thinking about a spare wheel carrier for my SF5 and the idea of taking a factory one off a Gravel Express WRX and putting it on would be a reasonably easy, and cost effective way of going about it.
Does anyone know if it would even work? I know the chassis of the GF8 and SF5 are very similar but am otherwise unsure if my cunning plan would work in reality.
Since I'm in NZ and own an SF5 getting something from SubaXtreme or the like is unlikely and cost prohibitive. There's always the 'chuck it in a roof basket" route if it doesn't work but I figure it'd be damn cool on a first gen foz.
Thoughts?
