TIRE STORAGE

The spare wheel mount was a real eye sore and I knew it would bug every time I took the tire off. It was a sloppy job, not per original design and was farther forward by 1/2" on one side.

Only one thing to do since there is nothing else we are allowed to do these days. This was a tricky piece of work since it had to be fitted with the skin in place. It took me 3 tries to get it done. I had to buy a 10 foot piece of Ash so that didn't matter. Not being the greatest woodworker the joints aren't as tight as I would have liked but a bit of wood filler hides a lot of sin. I did get a good fit against the skin though after a lot of plane work. I still have to mount the  bracket for the wheel.
