Re: Spare Wheel Substitute

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Gil:

I don't know if Ford ever used them, but if they did, a space-saver spare 
from any 4-bolt Mustang, LTD, T-Bird, Mercury Capri, Cougar or Marquis (all 
thru the mid-80's) should fit the bill just fine.  That's actually a pretty 
good idea you had, and wouldn't mind having two for myself.  A trick I used 
to do with my BMW's was flip the full-size spare upside-down in the trunk, 
giving me all that extra space inside the wheel for storage.  That won't 
work with OEM 105/115 wheels, as they've got too much positive 
offset.  Happy hunting.

Regards,

Dean
