I have a set of 205/65 R15s on my '84 westy, and the spare (same size) no longer fits in the spare tire carrier. I've heard that later model carriers would hold this size tire without any problems, so do any of you know where the difference lies? Is it in the upper wire retainer, or in the lower support pan? Also, if it is just one part that changed, can you mix and match (i.e. late model wire retainer, early model pan). Thanks, -Damon ===== '84 Westy (Sparky) w/2.3L WBX Vancouver, BC
