M8 threads in boot/truck for tie down points (spare wheel)?

chocdog · 08-06-2023, 08:54 PM

Hi guys,

Can anyone confirm if the G42 has a couple of M8 female thread inserts on the underside of the liner in the boot (trunk)? The F22 did which was perfect for strapping down a donut emergency spare wheel in there (see a couple of pics attached).

I have a couple of months before I get my car and want to get sorted for a spare wheel set up (yes I have a mobility kit and also know how to plug a tyre, but in Australia it can be a real pain in the proverbial if you get a flat when not close to metro areas so its best to be provided if you are heading into rural areas for a trip).
