EDIT - 4th Aug 22. All parts now sourced.

Have recently acquired an incomplete Boot Mount Spare kit. Looking to source the following to complete it:

- shims. I believe there should be 3?
- spacer cup (standard one for steel wheels)
- knurled wheel with spreader plate
- boot prop, including bracket to bolt to boot side wall and clip for storing away
- 'flip-up' bracket for storing wheel in vertical position inside the boot

- wheel cover (black)

W.H.Y?

Thanks

I can see at least a spacer and a knurled wheel currently on ebay. A few covers too but be sure you have the right size for your tyres: V8 185 takes a bigger one than the more common 165.
 
Thanks. I hadn't considered the different wheel sections. Presumably there were also 2 different internal covers as well? I have fitted V8 wheels to my 2000, but have kept a 5J 2000 wheel for the spare so don't have a problem with the internal cover. Managed to source a nearly-new boot mount cover for a tenner, so if it's the V8 size, presumably it'll still fit, just with extra elasticated excess to tuck under the bottom of the wheel?
 
Bump on this. List at the top has been updated.

I've seen a knurled wheel, cup etc on eBay, but it's been split into separate items (spreader plate, rubber grommet, etc), each of which is listed at £40! So I'm swerving that.
 
I have a few of the mount parts though not the prop. I put them all in a box a few weeks ago which l think l can put my hands on without too much bother. I'll put a picture up when l get up the workshop, probably at the weekend.

Thanks TRM. I managed to source a complete kit via FB marketplace yesterday evening. Everything i need, including flip-up mount and the bracket to stow the prop away against the bulkhead. I'll have some duplicate parts but they may be useful spares.
