Tire Holder ON 1936 Cabriolet Trunk
I am finally getting around to putting the spare tire and metal shell on to my 1936 Ford Cabriolet I have a 600/ 16 tire. I can't believe how difficult it is to get the outside ring on the big round shell and tire. All parts are correct.
Anyone know any tricks to getting the outside ring on without destroying the paint on the shell tire cover. I used a couple of long wooden tapered shim material but that aint gonna work well when it is painted. Any ideas, Thanks |

Re: Tire Holder ON 1936 Cabriolet Trunk
If the cover is not painted, do you have the correct rubber insert for the edge of the cover?
If not you need to be sure to install after painting and before you assemble the ring and the cover. To install the cover ring will require to to first put the end of the cover ring opposite of the small ring on the cover ring on to the tire at the bottom, while at the same time you twist the ring away from the tire and gradually move the cover ring toward the tire. This type of twist will keep the cover ring away from the cover and the rubber insert in the cover will protect the paint as the ring is installed all around the tire. I hope this will help. |
