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.
