Default Re: 35 Phaeton w/sidemounts

I like side mounted spare tyres. I had a junk 35 fender that I tried to mock up a 35 spare wheel mount. As per the photo in the link the tyre ends up so far back you cannot open the door fully. If you push the tire forward towards the front tire you have to raise the spare so high that the top is higher than the hood. It just doesn’t fit right. The 35 Lincoln’s with side mounts work because the hood is longer. Anyway I tried but it’s as Henry built it!!
