today's job

[shiplee123]

My van when it was imported from California two years ago was used as a coffee machine
This was removed but a plate had been welded over the wheel compartment.
My job today was to test the new angle grinder and get the spare wheel back in place
Pics to follow

What part is normally used to hold the wheel in place is there a spercific plate held in by a bolt that i can purchase from vw suppliers . I can see a fixing point behind the wheel
