Re: Incorrectly mounted Spare Wheels on 1932-1935 Fords
Here is a picture of a 40 spoke Kelsey wheel mounted on a '35 coupe. The valve hole is not at the 12 0'clock position but isn't very far off.

That's where mine is. The position is defined by the mounting bracket. This position puts the drain hole right at the bottom of the wheel, as Mercman has pointed out.

Re: Incorrectly mounted Spare Wheels on 1932-1935 Fords
Thanks for the picture of your Kelsey Hayes Spare Wheel. Yes, the Valves are not exactly at the 12 o'clock position, but close to it. When the Valve is at the top, the Drain Hole is at the bottom. Hopefully, the message will get through. It does not cost anything to mount the Spare Wheel correctly with the Valve position at the top, so hopefully, other owners will check the position of their Valve location and correct it if necessary. |

Went out and looked at the spare on my '34 today. Guess I was lucky when I mounted the spare tire many years ago. The valve stem is exactly at the 12 o'clock position.

Model As also are supposed to have the spare installed with the valve on top or twelve o'clock position.
