Spare wheel kit - spare parts

Swordy · 9th February 2021, 13:32

Hello all,
I'm looking to fully stock the spare wheel kit in my saloon.
There are lots of empty indents in the holder.
(I have jack and ppd Jack handle, tow eye and wheel nut crank)

Has anyone got a picture of a fully equipped one?

I do need a No12 locking wheel nut key

I'm guessing it's a screwdriver, alloy centre cap lever, jacking pad, wheel chock blocks....
Anything else??

Cheers

Paul

Bulb sets were also supplied 👍

I suspect that the hardest to find item is the emergency cranked allen key. which was supplied with all cars fitted with the optional sun roof.

I eventually managed to buy one from a breakers yard, who had one in a complete set.

The screwdriver wasn't included in the early kits. It's place was taken by small indents to hold the wheel nuts, when changing a punctured wheel.

My car's got a sunroof Mike so does that mean that I should have an Allen key? I'm almost certain that i don't!

Thanks for that, that's great info, I have 3 with sunroofs so that's definitely one to add to the list.
Have you got a picture of it...if it's not marked I wonder if a correct sized Allen key could be purchased?

Maybe this Allen key is as elusive as the plastic valet keys??!

A friend bought a 75 on my recommendation and it had a spare blue plastic valet key!
I'd never seen one before then.

unless I am misunderstanding the jacking pads are a semi permanent fixture to the underside of the car.

As for the chock, I don't think a bulb set and chock will fit on top of each other in the polystyrene insert.
