Morris Minor Owners Club

Here's my truck- was missing the spare tire bracket:




Here's my $10 solution:
Bought a couple 3/8" lock nuts, a 3/8" wingnut, a length of 3/8" threaded stock (came in 36" for a couple dollars) and ceiling light fixture canopy kit. the canopy piece happens to be around the right size and convex with a 3/8" hole in the middle:



Cut the length to the right size (about 7") threaded it through the machine hole in the cab (mine was a little loose for the 3/8" 16 size), and used one lock nut and washer on the inside.



Used a larger washer and the other locknut on the outside, and tightened them up.




Used the wingnut and another washer to tighten the tire in place.
Looks pretty good for a common item in the hardware store!

looks good I wonder if you could drill through the bar at the end and put a small padlock just incase someone wants a spare

Good job and nice pics again Padlock idea is a good 'un too.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone with a need for that size tire & rim around here

oh I don't know, they might want to use it as a frisbee

It's the same size tire & rim as the Chevy Vega. Not too many left on the road, though.

Hello Mrsnak, can you upload more pics please, this pick up is stunning, Regards, Steve
