  • Picky point that needs input from owners, particularly if bought Your Tbird NEW.

    Now's the time to go out and check the spare tire compartment.

    I'm looking for the shape of the cap that covers the spare tire spindle, to keep the spindle from poking thru the spare tire cover.

    Is it round?

    or is it Hexagonal?


    My 02 and 05 sport little round caps.

    If yours is a hexagonal cap, I need pics of it, top and sideways.

    PLUS

    I need the year of your tbird and it's "birth date"

    I'd do a poll, but answering on the thread is more personal.

                  Perhhaps Ron has the answer as two of his are missing and the only replacements available are hexagon.
                  Just a thought.

                      In other words, it's round. ;)

                          On my 02 the cap is round. But if you look at the diagram under the spare tire cover
                          the cap has a hexagon shape. I believe the assembly is meant to add support to the
                          cover.
