Traveller spare wheel support

Post by moray »

Hi all,

Is the angle iron bracket used to hold the spare wheel up, against the plywood floor, or down on the petrol tank?

Cheers
Moray

The bracket holds the wheel down towards the tank and locates on the rim of the spare wheel

Ahhhhh! Thanks for that - that's the thing that stops my 155 tyre going far enough in..... :roll:

I'm using a 155 tyre but as the bracket wasn't fitted I put the wheel in place then positioned the bracket to fit.
I also don't have the boot floor in yet, so access was easy :)

That's cheating.......but if you put it too far in - it doesn't leave space for the spare cylinder head.......? :P
