I am of the opinion the the standard Spare Wheel Clamp fitted to my 1982 4/4 appeared rather bland and featureless so I decided to make one of my own design to fit the standard width 4/4 (and TR +4s) with wire wheels (155/165) https://www.tm-img.com/image/YhJiw https://www.tm-img.com/image/YhPHt https://www.tm-img.com/image/YhNmv https://www.tm-img.com/image/Ym834 https://www.tm-img.com/image/YmKlnI made the replacement clamp with 6082 T6 Aluminium Alloy which has been natural anodised. In manufacturing I made two extra clamps, due to the fact there was a minimum charge for the anodising. So I am now in the position to offer the two additional clamps that I Made for sale at £32.00 each plus postage to cover the costs of materials and anodising

I welded the threaded bolt into a chrome hex wheelnut, and it has served me well for quite a few years....it tightens with the wheelnut spanner thing, and a couple of taps with a lead hammer. Nice and secure, and looks good too.

Nice and secure, and looks good too. How does that work ? When screwing the Wheel Nut and the Clamp Screw welded together with two different thread pitches

That's a lot of money for what is essentially a T-Bar.

No: the original threaded bar has only one threaded part, with the T handle at the other. The T handle was chopped off, and the plain part of the threaded stud was welded into the cavity in the hex wheelnut.

Just made one for my 1968 Plus 4 out of stainless. Total material cost was 4 quid for a 12" off cut of stainless round.
Took around 2 hours including screw cutting the stem, drilling, tapping and polishing.
Popped the 50 year old alloy disc in the lathe and give it a light facing. Looks as good as new
