i've ordered two of these and they are still not long enough.
i've not got round to it yet, but i've decided to weld two together to make one large one.
Thanks I assume it is just a long bar with a thread on one end and a lever or wing nut on the other - with a large washer to stop it going through the fuel can?
You dont happen to know the measurements that I need do you? (please).
There is a choice of two fitting kits , depending on whether you have a saloon/coupe with the wheel lying horizontal under the floor , or an estate with the wheel mounted vertically at the side .
Your dealer should have offered you the choice when you purchased the can .
The kit for the estate car comprises an extension bolt which replaces the original angled wheel retaining bolt - the 'new' one has the same male thread at one end , then opens out to a flange at the other end with two 'wings' for tightening to retain the spare wheel and a female thread in the centre to accept the bolt for retaining the can .
If you go back to your dealer , with the part number for the can , your dealer shpuld be able to look up the fitting kits . When I bought mine , about 15 or 20 years ago , the can was about £40 and the fitting kit was something like £5 or £10 from memory .
If you don't get anywhere with the dealer , I'll photograph mine and post a picture here .
