I really want a “normal” spare tire in the frunk of my Suby conversion. I’m thinking about mounting the radiator at the back/bottom of the frunk and putting the spare above the radiator. I know others have tried… @slowrodent ?

I think it’s going to work! My plan is to cut out the whole middle portion of the frunk floor and add a brace/mount for the radiator. Then, I’ll open up the area inside the blue tape for inlet airflow. I’ll mount two puller fans on the rear side of the radiator. I’lll make a duct that I can remove that joins the inlet hole to the radiator and then I’ll add some removable support bars above the inlet duct that will provide the mount for the spare.
