Brandwood shifter & spare tire

Hi,

Just installed a Brandwood shifter, and due to the new shifter mount, I am unable to put my spare back where it was. I have a 04 Beck. Any ideas?

Can you post any pictures? Perhaps you need the next longer cables and route them lower.

The issue us not the cable, but the chrome bracket that support the cable.

The issue is not the cable, but the chrome bracket that support the cable.

When I installed my Brandwood I found that I too could not mount the spare as it was from Beck but, with a little bit of wiggle motion, you "can" make it work by ofsetting the tire a bit.

Shortly after mounting the Brandwood, I installed wide 5 bolt wheels on my car.
I then positioned the new spare on the spare tire bracket so it would clear the Brandwood. I welded 2 lug bolts on the bracket and used lug nuts to secure the tire. Depending on how your spare is mounted, you may have to grind off the original bolt and re-position it to clear the linkage.

Park the spare in the garage and carry two "fix a flats" you probably don't have a jack anyway.
