Spare wheel foam insert

[jazzyb88]

Hi,

Does anyone have the foam insert for sale for the space saver wheel on a 2015-2018 Jazz? If not, I will go down the route of creating something myself (I have read the older threads on here about using ply). Just wanted to ask as wanted to keep it stock 

Thanks

Best bet ask at your local breakers yard, or if you wish try online auction sites.

Nothing on ebay at the moment. Breakers is a good shout - though imagine it will be hard to come by as it never came standard with the MK3 onwards

Had one the attached for sale for ages on here - gave to user elsewhere - you can get part number from pic if needed

I had a problem finding one , in the end managed to get a used one cheap from a Honda dealer.
They were available new but around £150

I posted a couple of pics in the thread

Even though £150 is steep, the dealers I rang around me are all quoting £350 for a a full kit including the tyre. Perhaps the foam is £150 of that but they couldn't split the cost for some reason.

I think I will just have to fashion something myself or keep a watch on ebay as someone will eventually sell one.

Just on the outskirts of the M25, close to Watford. Is a courier an option? Otherwise might have to wait for something to turn up closer

It’s quite bulky to courier.

I’m in no rush, see what turns up nearer you, perhaps I could meet you half way if you’re really stuck for one

I don’t come on this site very often so if you are interested, you could email me at gazbev@hotmail.com.

Cheers and good luck,

I find it perfectly adequate  wrapping  items individually for extra padding and  to stop them rattling then pack them into the wheel  centre.. 

Or you could try casting your own  foam insert using a spray can of builders gap filling foam.  Use the spare wheel centre  as a mould .Protect the wheel and to help with releasing the casting   by lining it  with polythene .  You could either make the mould more elaborate by using removable ice cream tubs etc to precast it with suitable  compartments,  or cast it solid and cut out compartments once its hardened. 

Just an idea. I've never actually done it

Threw mine away as I wanted the space for a spacesaver wheel. I found that the associated tools,needed for a wheel change after a puncture, could be accommodated within the wheels void. Think loft insulation for a rattle free journey.

The foam plastic insert gives support to the centre of (hardboard?) 'boot' floor panel.
Our used 2017 MK3 came with a full size spare, which sat on the boot floor. I removed the foam insert and found that a length of B&Q studding + timber cross bar, washer & nut would retain the spare in the floor well along with wrapped 'tools'.
The gap between the tyre and underside of the floor panal appears to have a slight front to back taper - so slight reinforcement is required for a flat floor.

Hi Gary,

Just to come back to your post. Looking at the picture you attached, unfortunately, that's already what most people already have in their cars (myself included). That's the foam insert for cars with the tyre repair kit, there is another one designed for the space saver spare wheel which looks different to that one.

Hope that helps.

Loft insulation is a good idea. Or alternatively just making a support out of wood as the post further below yours suggests. Certainly seems a lot easier than trying to find a used one of these kits for sale which are almost non-existent.

I have (unused) one of the white foam covers as pictured in APHYRID's post 08.05.24.   I live in Chigwell Essex near J26 M25.  Email me rogerdmew@aol.com.
