Could anyone post a pic of the spare tire cover for me? I need to see the top and bottom. Were the original runners metal? Thanks,
Kevin
 
Argh, I just threw one out last week on a trip to the dump, the fiberboard was crumbling apart and the carpet was shot. It was this pressed fiberboard with metal edges riveted on, and carpet on top. I may still have a picture somewhere.
 
A guy sold me a spare tire cover, but it was from an earlier TR. They don't look that difficult to build, but if any of the big three reproduce one correctly, I would rather buy it since I have so much other work to do on my TR6. Does anyone know if any of the big three produces one that looks original?
 
Kevin- I think I have a spare one in the garage... this afternoon I can shoot some pics for you.
 
Kevin-
Attached are the pics you requested. YES, the rear lip and the two bottom rails are metal. Additionally, the bottom rails had felt on the bottom... see pics. Hope this helps.
