The "What's missing?" game.
Here is the moulding that lives inside the spare wheel which I inherited with the car. It contains a scissor jack, winding handle for above, wheel brace and a towing eye. As far as I'm aware I've never misplaced anything from it, but there appear to be shaped recesses for four or five other items, so I'm wondering if this is so, and if so what they should be?

there should be a pair of big black plastic wedges that lock together for putting under a wheel before jacking up the other side.

As said, wheel chocs, spare bulb kit, wheel cover removal tool, security bolt key, off the top of my head that's all I can think of

Underneath the jack on the left should be the tool for removing centre caps.

If anyone has a complete set, could they kindly post a photo of it over the weekend? Also if anyone is breaking a 75 and has any of the items for sale would they please let me know?

This is the second generation moulding.
It also needs a screwdriver with a pull out blade, philips one end, and flat the other. The first generation didn't have the screwdriver, but had 5? recesses for wheel bolts, when changing a wheel. The bulb kit was, I believe, an accessory that could be bought separately. Also, I believe that the wheel chocks were only supplied with a tourer. If the car had a sunroof, then a crank handle for manually shutting it (if motor failed) was slipped under the thin plastic cover. It didn't have a specific cut-out. This crank was the subject of a question that I raised a while ago. It appears to have NOT been documented anywhere; however I have a photo of an unopened kit, clearly showing this handle. I subsequently bought it.

I'll try and find the photo, but it's on an old laptop, should be fun.
Essentially an alloy round bar, maybe 6" long and 3/16" dia., with an opposing right angle bend at each end, to form a crank. An allan key in one end, I believe 5mm. This is a machine made tool.
