Mounting Spare Wheel / Tire to Roll Bar!

Took the spare off from underneath the rear when installing my leaf springs and kinda stood it up in the back leaning against the roll bar on the drivers side. Figured it looked quite good back there and should just remain there.

Anyone fashioned together something to mount their spare onto the roll bar? I'm looking for some ideas. May head to Home Depot and see if I can come up with something with off the shelf hardware.

WEld a steel plate to a bolt, drill the roll bar, put the bolt through, and tighten down a nut or two, then either weld , or drill and nut on some bolts to go through the spare wheel, and slide it on there, and use a couple of lug nuts to hold it down. Or hell, weld the plate directly to the roll bar with the bolts on it,.

I just used a strap. But my spare tire winch is broken so I don't have a choice.

No welder unfortunately. May have to buy one and teach myself to weld tho I think, so I can do my SAS in a year or 2.
