Is there enough room to mount the spare tire vertically if you have an A/C condensor mounted in the frunk floor? The spare would be wearing a porsche "space saver" tire.. and I'd probably assume the typical vertical bracket (that someone here is offering) would not work. My car is in storage at the moment and I have not sourced the condensor yet, so I can not take measurements. Anyone have an idea?

How often have you even used a spare?? I stopped buying a tire for mine... just have the wheel stored. Keep an active AAA card and a can of fix a flat...
That being said. Who needs AC?? I'm in Phoenix and don't have it! Still love getting the 914 out... granted, its not my daily! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

After driving two different 914s as daily drivers, over two years each in N. Texas heat/ humidity.. I decided my next would have it, thank you very much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Betty's has AC, and it works great. It is her daily driver, and showing up at work sweaty is not a good idea.
