Reply to "WTB space saver spare"

bosswrenchMember

FWIW, The OEM folding spare used a std Ford 7" x 14" steel passenger car wheel with a yellow decal. High-pressure spares are larger in OD than space-savers with folding sidewalls, so they don't fit well in the front (OR rear) trunk even with the battery dropped. The HPS I had hit the swelling on the power booster for the vacuum line. It's possible to rotate the booster cover so the swelling is toward the outside, then redrill the vac hose hole in the trunk floor; then the high pressure spare would fit. The HP-spare I had was from a mid-'80s Thunderbird with 4-bolt wheels, which had to be welded & redrilled to fit a Pantera's 5-bolt hub. But it used a lightweight forged aluminum wheel.
