thoughts on spare wheels.......
Discussion
Firstly would anyone have a couple of old spare wheel nuts please so I can attach my spare wheel (bring to Newark?)
In the longer term, rather than carry that huge thing around (and I don't have too much confidence in aerosol repairs), how about:
A. getting an S Series / Chimaera space saver re-drilled to fit?
B. using a skinny Triumph Herald (same stud pattern?) wheel with something like a 135 x 13 tyre?

Definitely Volvo V40 or S40 (same wheels). I obtained a Griffith/Chimera space saver with the aim of drilling it to suit until some kind soul on here indicated that V40 wheels would fit. As I have a V40 easy to check and sure enough the same PCD. My son picked up a couple in a Bradford scrapyard for about £20 each. The extra space up front made closing the bonnet a great deal easier and much less weight to have to wrestle out. Original Triumph TR wheels also fit but a bit larger than the V40 space savers. My 1600M now sold in fact went within 2 days of the advert but have just found an original (new old stock) Borg and Beck diaphragm clutch and plate for the 1600 crosflow if anyone interested.
