The Libra utilises a full size spare wheel mounted in the front compartment of the Libra The wheel is mounted in the engine ducting above the battery. The area inside the spare wheel is used to hold the jack tools for the Libra and forms the battery box lid.

Assembly

There are two 6mm studs captivated into the top of the battery mounting and these studs coincide with indentations marked on the spare wheel mould. Drill out these indentations with a 6mm clearance drill and place the spare wheel mould over the top of the battery mounting. Spare wheel mould holds the battery in place and gives you space for a few tools. It is held in place by two 6mm thumb screws.
