Are there multiple manufacturers for the spare tire tub and tray offered in all the catalogs? If so, which is the better quality unit and who sells it? Calls to a couple of the big suppliers resulted in identical descriptions.
Thanks to everyone for your assistance. Regards, Larry
i prefer Jim Sermersheimer in Indiana for driver vette. If you intend to have NCRS judge it, look for nice used(carlisle) or NOS but it'll be salty. mike
The beauty of a repro upper tub is that it will accommodate a 205/75-15 radial on a 6" KO or BO wheel, using the "long" front hanger bolts and the "short" rear lock bolt. The original upper tub won't accept the 27" diameter of a 205/75 radial, but the repro will, as it's slightly larger in diameter.
you answered a question I didn't think to ask. My 66 has a set of repop KOs and I was going to order the long bolts both front and back with the expectation of purchasing a 5th KO for the spare even though I'd have to be in a really tight spot to actually change a flat. Do you think the short rear bolt will work with 215/70 radial? My guess is that the tire diameter is ok but does the 215/70 have a wider profile and require the longer rear bolt? (Don't have Duke's recent Restorer articles with me tonight.)
