spare hold down question

[siteunseen]

Is this for a 240 or a 280?

Thanks for any info.

Give me a picture of the other side. 240, I think... If that's just plain tin, I think it's 280. If it has a rubber donut-y thing its early 240

You've jogged my memory, I think? Seems like it did have rubber on the other side but I tore it off. The others I have just have the horizontal bar with the the threaded handle.

I'll get you a picture in the morning but there's no rubber under there. 

The weather has changed and I'm cleaning out my storage building. Finding stuff I forgot all about.

Thank you Jim for all your help. I hope you come down next year for zcon in Atlanta. We'll have some good times for sure. If you like motorcycles I think we should spend a day in Birmingham at Barber's museum. It's amazing to see and only a couple hours down I-20. We could rent a passenger van and drink beer, throwing wizz bombs out the windows.

The retainer has (had) a rubber ring around it, smooth on the upper side and dot-gripped (octopus-like) on the underneath. The T-handle should have a rubber cover on it too, but they rarely survive...

Time to get busy Steve!

I have several with the rubber ring if Steve wants to reproduce it.

I have the rubber ring also but, I do not have the rubber cover for the T-handle. Finding one of those to have reproduced might be a challenge---

Any help here guys??

[cbuczesk]

I probably have one. I need to find my bin of tire hold downs.

I'm going to make one and glue it on for now. Restoring a spare tire. Who would have thought to be doing that? OCD raises it's ugly head.

I'm trying to get my spare of the wheel with motorcycle spoons. Not too easy either.

That may be something to dip in that rubber stuff for tool handles? Plasti Dip.

Heck for beer and wizz bomb fun I'll learn to like bikes!   Yes I'm planning on coming. Only been doing the even years so far, don't want to break with tradition.

Hold down handles had rubber trim?????  Yup, never seen one with it.
