Here's the spare in place and tied down. But the gap towards the rear is about 2 inches, and leaves the floor unsupported.

Looking around in my junk pile, I found a pair of brackets I made for something years ago.

The bracket is just the right height.

Here's the bracket attached like a prop under the floor.

Now the custom floor I made sits level, and supported near the back edge.

Last thing today: I checked the brake line attachments at the rear calipers for leaks. The left caliper looks dry.

But the right side is still leaking. I will need to work on this side again.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....
Dude. Are you actually putting a part looking like this back in that car of yours?
OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
I'm mean the plating, the cleanliness, etc, etc.
I might not be able to sleep tonight without notifying the concour polizei.

Is the tubing "bubble" flared?

My local NAPA informed me of the bubble, I had no prior idea. Single flare, double flare but never heard of a bubble

Doug, I feel your pain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I forgot a few things when I sent out my hardware for re-plating. I figure that I should have a few "original" parts on the car, right?

Yes, they have bubble flares--and I trust the source (PMB) to provide the correct flares.

I got the rest of the old tires removed today, and just in time. These all have some scratches, and even a bit of curb rash, but seem to be straight and true. Just dirty.

I ordered Sumitomo HTR A/S in 195/65-15 from Tire Rack yesterday afternoon, and they showed up at 6pm today. No supply chain issues!

I started processing the remaining Fuchs wheels so I can get the new tires mounted.

Step 1: remove the valve stem.

Step 2: A bit of sanding on the curb rash--at least enough to take down any edges and reduce the visibility. I know this removes the anodizing, but I think the trade-off is worthwhile.
