Title: Spare wheel in a 75
Post by: shane wescott on November 23, 2007, 10:46:40 PM
Hi Guys

Had a roadworthy check done and the guy said the spare wheel is not secured. Can someone please tell me how this is done on a 75. Cant find a bolt hole or hook holes for a rubber strap.

Can someone check theirs and fill me in.

Ta

Shane

Thanks Mate

Clearly the guy doing the road worthy was a Muppet who knows nothing about the Way of the Alfa :-)

Thanks

Shane

i totally sympathise with you, i'm having same probs with my 75 3L.  The guy couln't even locate the vin number.  Giving me hell cos i've got 16" wheels on it, and the car is a bit low.  I used to have fully worked 66 mustang, and didnt have any of these kinds of probs.  They just like muscle cars here in oz.
