Spare cover

Have one made or buy a white one and dye it.

Get off white and spray with vinyl spray.  Or get one custom sewn.  I've always liked this one (not sure who it belongs to) -

A few of my speedsters had a matching spare cover made from matching carpet for around $45

Frank:  Matt at New England Trim in Shrewsbury could do that for you.

I have looked and looked and haven’t been able to find a light tan or tan vinyl spare tire cover. I found them in off white, white and black. The one I’m looking for is one of the full circle ones with the elastic on the back side. Do any of you know of a place I can get one?  I haven’t checked VS yet but I will.  Thanks.

SEM vinyl spray paint will allow you to change any colour to whatever you want. Inexpensive and easy to use....it covers very well and lasts even in sunlight. 

Off the shelf - tan, 24$-28$ vairous sizes... check their tire size charts.

I just Googled tan spare tire covers... many listings available.

Thanks a lot guys. All good suggestions. I have some spare carpet, I bought it because I was sure the carpet that came in the car would wear badly. It looked like mouse fur to me.

A good auto  upholstery shop will make you one.

I ordered a nice tan one from one of the links Luis sent me. $36 to my door. Now I need to find a suitable jack at the U pull it and get my rim back from powder coat and I’m all set.

The scissors jack in a Ford Windstar (usually $5 bucks at a salvage yard) gives decent lift height, has a flat plate lift surface with edge lips, has a captive crank and extension and includes, as part of the crank, a 19mm wheel lug socket.   I’m jus’ sayin’.........

Oh!   And it fits nicely behind my driver’s seat.
