I tried to find one.  Couldn't find one that fit over the front hub because it 
is so wide, but there are lots that fit on the back wheel.  I have 2 in LA if 
anyone wants one.  Paid $5 in a junkyard.

The way it would work (and there is a new car that is set up the same way) is 
that if the front goes flat, you put a rear on the front and use the mini on 
the rear.  A pain in the ass.  And the space savings isn't really that much 
after all the effort.
