I am looking to mount a spare on my bonnet. Other then the tire/wheel, what mounting hardware and straps do I need to do this? Where can I purchase everything to make it look correct? Thanks in advance.

You basically just need #s 13,14&15 from this page with the appropriate fixings.

Those bolts are only long enough for stock wheels & tires though. If you have a wider offset or a wider tire (or if your cheap) you can substitute 2 threaded rods in those holes that can be held fast by a nut/washer above and below. Once both rods are secure, put wheel over so both rods stick up in the middle. Plop an 8" piece of unistrut over the 2 rods and secure with stainless nuts and bam! Cheapo alternative. I used the fattest threaded rod that fit through the holes but can't remember what that was. You'll never find threaded rod that matches those holes though (Whitworth??)

Keep in mind how much weight the tyre will add when you lift the bonnet- heavy.

Hold the bonnet in place from moving side to side, on a rough road.
The center pin and lock gets moved around and out of place, making it harder to un lock
I also added back that rubber stop that goes into the fire wall

How about those little rubber bumpers that the tire rests on. Mine are oblong but most I've sen are disks.
