One and all,
Time for some rookie questions about using the mount for something other than towing, I am using a Curt (item 31006) sparetire mount.
1. Is there a preferred way to secure the the mount into the receiver? Bolt with locking pin, bolt with small padlock, or actually threaded bolt (Roadmaster's $500+ tilt tire mount does it that way).
2. Should the sparetire be just bolted on to the tire mounting plate or locked on? No mounting hardware was enclosed with the sparetire mount.
3. Any recommendations for a tire cover company, I'd like to do a custom cloth cover.
Please advise as I have the tire rim and next week I will be going over to a tire dealership I have used for 20+ years to obtain another spare tire (mine has Michelin LT225/75R16 front and rear). I am going for safety and security (anti-theft).
Doc
