We are looking for shovel holder options available. At this stage I only found
the following rear door Shovel & Axe holder Shovel Holder
Does anyone know any other alternatives? I don't have roofracks on the car all the time, so this option is out.

IF you have some small threaded holes in your mag wheel hubs to hold chrome caps on, you could seize upon that as a mounting method. Drill through the lower handle of the shovel at a suitable spot - place the shovel in situ against the tyre and measure
the gap - buy a bolt of suitable length (plus a spare for the kit). Special length metric bolts can be obtained from the Coventry Fasteners chain.
Just run the bolt through the handle and into the hub hole, when tight, it will keep the shovel snug against the rubber tyre. Sorry - no photo -
mine is up on the roof now, when I'm bush - needed the wheel area for another toy. Whatever.....That was my method anyway......PS: If you weld a wing onto the bolt head, you won't need a spanner to get it off - PS2. A good ocky as a safety backup seems sensible in case the bolt breaks - would be a bummer to find the shovel gone at days end, and dangerous for anyone following !
