Anyone Know how this is retained in the wheel well at the back (76 Kombi). Is there some kind of clamp supposed to be there
thanks

belt like strap, goes through a hole in the panel and then through the wheel, take a look in a wreckers.

just screw a belt to the inside pannel and use it

Ohmygod! So THAT'S what that hole in the rear is for! I had no idea, I've been using it as a toolbox! So you really do learn something new every day!

If you mount your spare wheel on a front bullbar, what do you do with the hole in the back?
Turn it into an icebox for the freshly caught fish.
Fabricate a panel to cover it giving a fully flat rear.
Keep a second spare for long outback trips
Just curious

It makes a good secret storage compartment. Campmobiles came with a thin masonite cover over the spare wheel well, and the rear luggage cushion goes over that. You wouldn't know the well was there.
Microbuses had a really neat black plastic cover that fitted over the spare tyre, with a nice VW emblem moulded into it. See if you can find one at a wreckers.
