Done something today to sort a problem and to me a very pure design being the hassle of checking tyre pressure on the spare wheel on the KJ.
I bet 90% of drivers never check pressure of spare as one needs to get tools out to get at the valve.
stood looking for minute then :icon_idea: this is what to do:-
(1) Rotate wheel until the valve sits at 2 o’clock.
(2) Measure from centre of wheel to valve cap.
(3) Mark the distance on plastic cover under number plate.
(4) Drill a pilot hole from number plate side at position above marked at as close the valve cap centre as possible so the number plate still covers it.
(5) Using hole cutter around 50 to 60mm cut hole from rear.
(6) De-burr hole.
(7) Then tools in shed job done.
Finished job with number plate lifted valve can now be accessed without tools.
