Hi I'm looking at the possibility of obtaining a Merc SLK space saver wheel - or VW Toureg spacesaver - both will apparently fit by 75 bay ??? Then looking to mount underside - what your thoughts??
I have the merc one in one of my cupboards, they do fit, i got the wheel and the compressor form a scrap yard for £40 all in
Nice - do you think its small enough to be mounted underside? Obviously I would have to manufacture a bracket / carrier.
I've bought one but haven't got around to enlarging the holes. I plan to throw it ontop of the westie roof rack area
I have the collapsable version, it could be possible, i have never thought to fit it underneath, it was small enough to go in the van. i did not need to drill the holes or hub as both fitted fine
I think I will go a try one - personally I'd like to mount underside. out of the way. I have 2 kids so space will be a premium At the moment I have the full size spare in the roof rack, but like to put the my drive away awning up there
as above, you'll need to enlarge the bolt holes i think. also check the nut you'll need, might be different on the merc rim (ball seat/tapered etc).
I was hoping that the wheel would fit on the outside of the chassis against the floor pan. The wheel itself if 15" plus the tyre is around 2" when deflated.....
