My first car was a Cambridge special. It had the proper beaten out mudguards and the spare wheel carried on a cross piece attached to the straps over the rear tank. The spare carried at the rear is an essential part of the Cambridge design and I think you could lose a lot by chopping into your tank for some extra storage.
Mind you it’s just my opinion.

The tank is held on using a bracket purchased from Cambridge Engineering (Bill Williams). This is mounted directly to the back of the chassis so it should be good to go weight wise!
This is how we collected the car (rear axle has now been replaced so its on its own wheels again).
See below from previous owner.
Can I ask what your wheel size is and what tyres you have on the rears. Can’t help thinking that the spare shown in your photo looks on the heavy side?
