I kind of wish I had three more but this will go in the trunk as a spare.

Arntz wheel well doors
Arntz Type 4 only; not on any Butlers. There's one of these doors on each side of the car, at the rear of the rear wheel wells. They open to the space between the rear bodywork and the frame rails. This one on the passenger side allows access to the battery compartment and slide-out tray. The one on the driver's side supposedly allows you to store a collapsible spare tire but I have not found one with a small enough initial diameter to fit through the door. The wheel has to be taken off first to be able to open the doors.

PSE 5.0" wide FIA style "spare" rim
I mounted a 15" Goodyear collapsible spare onto a 5.0" wide rim that Phil Schmidt made for me. Then I painted a blue stripe on it, and highlighted the GoodYear lettering

Space-Saver spare on Campagnolo rim
Weldcraft Wheels in Livonia, MI narrowed a 7" wide Pantera rim down to 5.5" so that I could mount a collapsible Space-Saver spare tire on it.

FIA_Suitcase_Study1
It’s documented that (2) AC factory cars were prepared with FIA suitcase "dimples" (See Photos). The second modification was to enlarge the trunk base to allow the suitcase to fit upright (vertical) and further down into the trunk as shown. If you look closely at the photo you can see the suitcase also fit horizontal and was held in place with a “bungee cord”. You can also see the bolts protruding out the bottom of the suitcase which originally held the suitcase upright. I think this also explains why some of the FIA cars had dimples while others didn’t.
As for the actual size of the suitcase – FIA Historic Racing Championships - Appendix J. Both 1964 and 1965.
State:
“270 - Luggage trunk
A covered space being an integral part of the coachwork but outside of the space occupied by the front seats, large enough to receive a trunk of
65 cm X 40 cm X 20 cm. minimum, besides the spare wheel, tools or the folded hood, shall be provided, excluding the spare wheel, tools or removed canopy.”

Took the powdercoating off of a spare set and I brushed the rims. Love the way they look. The centers will get nice and dirty.
