While I was picking up my car, the seller told me that a spare would not fit anywhere on the car so he just carried a can of fix-a-flat. That sounds ok, but is there a better way to deal with getting a flat on the road?
The car is a Fiberfab II —Thanks, JackMy Chrysler Crossfire had big wheels on a small car so no spare. They included a 12volt DC pump and a can of fix a flat.
Hmm, being old and having always had a spare tire in my vehicles makes me a little paranoid about driving around with just a can of flat fixer — even if I add a 12 volt air pump to the mix…and even though I have not had to change a flat tire in quite a long time —
Hey guys, despite having seen many of your Cars at Carlisle, I didn’t realize that I may be one of few that carries a spare in the bonnet.
I had been admiring your nice clean trunks (bonnets) and was even thinking of how to re-do mine but not at the expense of leaving my spare at home.Recall that I did try to relocate my spare to the rear, a ‘la Continental kit. Not enough room. My carburetor takes up room inside my fake Continental cover. I drilled out all the pop rivets and removed my Continental cover before I realized that there was no way to mount my spare on the engine cover.I am presently making an exterior tire mount that would work outside of the cover similar to the real TD. Will have photos soon…
