So I've removed my spare wheel from the front holder as I thought it would be neater to use the cupboard Westfalia had already provided, but when I've tried to fit my (standard size) spare wheel inside it sticks out by an inch or so too much and I can't put the "door" back. What am I missing ?
Mine is quite a tight fit with standard tyre. There should be a wood lip/battern on the bottom of the front cover/door which push fits into a space on the floor of the cupboard and a metal bracket sticks out the top of cupbord where a long screw goes through a hole in cover/door and secures this
I've got the lip at the bottom f the cover/door and the screw at the top, but when I engage the lip with the sheel in place it's not possible to get the top close enough to screw it up
What size is the tyre, should be 185/14c Is it a factory Berlin ? The side braces for the van are cut out from factory in s Berlin to allow the wheel to fit
Or, keep current on your AA card, leave the spare in the garden and call for help when one gets flat on the bottom. This will allow room in the cupboard for more liquid enjoyment for Mrs. and you both. LOL
I'm 99% sure it's a stock 185/R14 but I'll have to double check now to be sure That and a can of tyreweld is what I've done so far, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't being dumb anyway
That's really cool, I too have a can of tyre weld and crossed fingers. Is that a standard wheel and it's the tyre that's special. Anyone know if you can get these anywhere? bit late for me now anyway going to spain tomorrow ! Bri
