Spare Wheel Retainer - Toyota MR2 Roadster

thingiverse

Problem: The spare wheel retainer in the front won't budge, and you've put so much force into it, the plastic is spinning on the captive bolt. You've got angry at it and smashed the plastic off. Solution: I designed this to replace the plastic component, and still utilise the exisitng OEM long bolt which goes through the spare wheel. The upper and the lower part clamp around the bolt head, and I bonded the two together with epoxy. I'd recommned printing with something a little more beefy than PLA. I used PETG and it's great. If this is helpful for you, please consider a small tip! Also, check out the socket I made which matches this perfeclty, just incase the bloody thing gets seized again!
