Spare tire holder and straps

I have seen spare tires mounted over the transaxles on some Spyders. Where can I get the bracketry to do this?

John, you'll probably have to fabricate a bracket to hold your spare tire. Beck cars came with the bracket as standard equipement and Vintage also makes the bracket at the customers request.

Straps are available via Fibersteel.com and a few other sources.

Depending on where you live, you could have a welder bend a piece of steel and weld it to your frame or if you have the capabilities, you could easily fabricate such a bracket.

Thanks Larry. Think I'll fabricate something up myself. I usually like to see what the experts have done and then fab up something to fit my unique RSK spaceframe constraints. It would have been helpful to see the spare tire holder without the tire in place.
Thanks again!

Here is a photo of the spare tire carrier in my previous Spyder

It's the rectangular bent steel directly above the nose cone

It's nothing more than a piece of bent steel with a bolt to secure the tire. The bolt secures the tire via a lug nut hole and the balance of the tire is supported by the cross member between the shock towers

Larry,
Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for! I don't have the crossmember, but I'm sure I can cobble up something to provide the same function.
Thanks again,
John
