Subject: Spare wheel mounting
Unfortunately mine has gone missing. Being a 1940 car, the mounting is different to that on earlier V12s & LG6s. Those have a circular steel plate welded to the stay which bolts to the scuttle.

My one has a conical shaped aluminium casting (I think held on by a pinch-bolt) where the stay goes through the spare wheel cover. A flat steel plate is screwed to that, & that retains a captive nut. The hand-wheel, washer & conical retainer that fits the actual wheel centre I would imagine are all similar to those on the earlier models.

Please help if you can! Hoping to go to the AGM so could collect there.
