Tighten Porsche centrelocks to 440lbs, who depresses the brake if you are on your own?
By using your handy ratchet spreader/clamp that you will have to hand, along with all the other kit...? You just place a short plank of wood across the front of the drivers seat with a towel behind the plank to protect the beautifully stitched seat leather and place the other end of the spreader against the brake pedal, and ratchet it up good and tight.... Simples..?????
So when you are out in your smart centre lock wheels Porsche on your own do they have a special compartment for the necessary plank of wood and towel amongst the other bits and pieces. I've always found many Porsches are generally not particular generous with their luggage space, so do you have to leave the weekend bag at home, or send on ahead first!
John, seems to me these days that perhaps fewer of the population, might know how to jack up a car and replace a punctured wheel with a spare safely, might even want to..? That the most folk will have cell phones and breakdown insurance, it seems it may be generally accepted that we have lost yet another aspect of self reliance in our culture.... Hmm...?
Those of us who might be otherwise minded have in most instances have less and less options available. when my good lady bought her Evoque circa 7 years ago, we had to pay extra to have a spare wheel, though while she grew up having been taught by her dad how to change to a spare wheel, what are the chances of many ladies managing the weights involved in the average 4x4 that it seems so many of them seem to prefer to drive..?
I have over the years resolved five roadside punctures for others who all fortunately had spare wheels, though on one occasion the spare was flat and almost bald...
For me it seems the logical question might be, would Morgan owners in general prefer to have a spare or not....?
