Default Spare tire covers

I'm looking for a vinyl or leather spare tire cover for my 35 wire wheel and tire. Preferably with the Ford monogram. Does anyone know where to purchase one.? thanks, Mike

I got mine for my '34 (17 inch wheel) from Summit Racing > https://www.summitracing.com/search?...0tire%20covers


I got a plain black cover and bought a V8 Decal on eBay to stick on it > https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-For...MAAOSwRgJXlWoz



Be sure you make an accurate measurement of the overall diameter of the inflated tire on wheel....

Check with the Model A parts suppliers. They usually have them. Also check e-Bay. You'll find plain covers and you can sew on your own patch.

As TJ said the Model A suppliers sell them but I think that it may be difficult to find one for a 17'.
You might try calling Bert's Model A Center, 800 321-1931 they carry several sizes (no 17") but you may be able to get some dimensions from them to help? Chap

If you want something unique check e-Bay item #123740755338. There are all sorts of plain covers on e-Bay and you could buy an embroidered Ford patch and sew it on.

Thanks "4MAINS"
I wasn't sure about UK models and will make the mental note. SO 17" is strictly European!!!
