Subject:15" wheels - what about spare?
From:Maggie Dew

I took my Westy in to F.A.S.T. in Santa Fe this morning and they will
replace that crossover above the fuel tank and replace all my old fuel
lines that are forward of the engine compartment - plus whatever else it
needs in the way of seals/grommets to the fuel tank.  They had five or six
Westys in for various repairs.

Now on to the wheels:  Jim, the owner, was curious about my 15" wheels and
asked what I did for a spare.  I told him I used the 14" wheel and spare
because I didn't think the 15" would fit in the spare tire carrier.  He
has a Syncro and said he doesn't think it would be safe to drive the 4WD
using a 14" spare.  It seems to me that someone recently mentioned a fix
for putting a 15" spare in the carrier.  I am unable to do long searches
in the archives since I'm using the library computer for 30 minutes.  Any
suggestions or personal experiences will be appreciated.
