    RS plastic fuel tank in my 1968?

    Just wondering if there are any fitment issues with the RS plastic fuel tank in my 68 T?

    I know it doesn’t fit the full size spare that is currently in my T so was also curious if I can mount a collapsible spare on the factory Fuchs spare I currently have?

    What size tire and where do I get a collapsible tire?

    Should fit without issues. Be aware that it hangs lower than the steel tanks, and, being plastic (well, lupolen) it will split if you bottom it too hard. Some vendors make protection plates specific fof them.

    You get the tire from a stock steel spare wheel and then pay your tire guy good money to move it over (it's tight and a real pita, a lot of tire shops refuse to do it). Just buy the same diameter as your spare Fuchs. Width isn't an issue as long as your spare is 6" or less.
    A part isn't purchased until paid.
