There has been a few threads on full size spares. We are about to leave Sydney and travel the Red Centre to Darwin, down the West Coast , and home across the Nullarbor. We will be towing a light weight caravan for 5 months and I wanted a full size spare. Sourced a "universal" alloy wheel with tyre from Bob Jane for $270. Ford quoted $600 plus for a matching alloy. The wheel sat in the well with 10 cms excess height. Using the floor mat as a template with a couple of mods a local foam shop cut a floor spacer in 10 cm high density foam for $140. Floor fits perfectly and is very firm. Couple of photos att.
