Spare Wheel for 69 Fastback
« on: September 23, 2022, 02:48:31 pm »
While driving home from Linwood Hose Show day the other weekend, I noticed 2 cars (not Mustangs) on the side of the road with flat tyres being fixed. I took it as an Omen that I really should get myself a spare for the boot of my 69 Mach 1.
Looked on line for any in Aust with no luck of course - So does anyone in the Club have one that they'd be willing to sell or know where I could get one without needing to import from the US
Cheers Greg

Too easy . Any falcon 1967 XR to 1972 XA will fit . 1973XB to 1997 EL will still fit but the Center hole is a little larger ,so fine for a spare no problems . AU on has the wrong offset .

Just to add to that ,if you want a 15 inch wheel EL falcons had a 15 inch as well as 14 inch .

Interesting topic in relation to the comment of Centre hole oversized not being a problem.
I thought that was supports the load and not the studs.
does anyone remember laughter

Yeah, I thought that too.
Could someone clear this up, I did have an 'incident' with a borrowed box trailer where the studs fitted nicely, but the hole was slightly large and ended with the wheel wobbling quite badly.
The trouble is, you think you’ve got time.

As a spare wheel  only it’s really no a problem . Just go to a wheel shop and buy a ring that sits on the hub or axle . Or buy a pre 72/73 falcon wheel / rim
