[BE774]

Spare wheel clamp for Aces, Acecas and Cobras?

[AC Ace Bristol]

.

   Morgy
   
   
   Not a standard fixture, but as BE774 suggests, a suitable home made  device to locate and secure  the spare wheel in the boot of  a Ace, Aceca or early Cobra.
   
   The correct aluminium retaining threaded item is very hard to find, Maybe someone can cast a small batch [?][?].
   No, don't look at me I did the fuel caps.....[]

So this would have no place in an AC 289 sports?
