I made one long trip w/o a spare in the V8, course I didn't think about it at the time. Probably not good policy. I don't wanna try it again rolling to the the FFC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
With the radiators in the front, there isn't room for a standard spare up there, and I'd like to keep the rear open for cargo. I think a space saver would stand up in the front. Where the hell do I get one, and what do they go for? |

I bought a collapsable space saver spare at the GAF swapmeat two years ago for $20.00. I have 4 lug wheels on my car and the space saver spare is 5 lug. (I don't know what car the spare came from). SKline had a wheel adapter laying around in his garage and was kind enough to give it to me. Thanks again Scott. I installed it on the left rear side and it fit pretty good. I think it would get me home ok. The max speed limit on the tire says 100kph I think. You can get a 12 volt air compressor pretty cheep or do what I did. I bought a small SCUBA bottle and the store I bought it from attached the first stage of a regulator on it with a hose and adapter for an air chuck. The only porblem is you have to be SCUBA certified to buy the bottle and have it filled when needed. The advantage of the electrical pump is you don't have to worry about filling it and it will be cheaper. The good thing about the air bottle is you don't have to worry about a power source. I also think this post is about twice as long as I intended it to be
Cheers, Elliot |
