Thread: Spare wheel bonnet mounting

Hi Dan,

From the one photo I can see anything in a book I have it appears that the bolts go through the clips with the clip facing downwards. I could scan the photo in if you need it. Also could have a look through the later parts manuals.

Tim.

Here is the page from the manual for you. Doesn't really show much but shows one bolt and clip.



Tim.

Thats all there is BUT there is 2 types of clamps
a set of clamps for the series 1 has a shorter leg for the standard series wheels.There is a longer clamp for the LWB rims that the leg is longer.......

That is all there is. Provided you have the correct clamps for the size wheel and tyre, they do work reasonably well. A problem with some of them is that the threads in the mount and/or the bolts may be stripped so it is impossible to tighten it enough so the tyre doesn't move.

And the one you have there looks like the longer legged version.

I am surprised the Ho Hars dont know.

These are my bits - the first photo was just off the web.....





Aren't these the right bits? Be surprised if they are not - it's more that I'm daft and can't see how they hold a wheel in place!

Put the wheel on the bonnet shiny side down

Those clips will rotate onto the 'inside' of the rim. You will find that the bolts, when installed, aren't too far from the edges of the hub hole in the centre of the rim.
