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.

Ok just to conclude on this topic I started, I have decided to get a full size spare and then manufacture some sort of support for the boot floor cover.
A full size spare in the size 185/60/R15 + jack and brace can be obtained for £115 from a place called wheelshop. Then you just need the retaining bolt (also available for £10-13).
I read that 10mm of ply / mdf cut to 800x500 should be enough to support the boot floor, alternatively a large piece of ply + automotive carpet to create a whole new boot floor cover.
In total, for less than £150 should have a full size spare.

Ah, I see.
That’s how I ended up with the inserts on the photo.
It took a a long time to find an insert that would support a spare but found one on here after an appeal.
We maybe changing to a later model and if we do illysave the insert and spacesaver.
good luck!

@jazzyb88 I'm in the same situation - 2018 Jazz with 185/55/R16's and I was looking at a full size spare from Wheelshop. Did you go ahead and buy from them, and if so does it fit in the void ok?
My other issue is the car came without the wheel security nut key but my local dealer can order that.

Hi there,
I had the best intention to do that but never got around to it. I have tried one of the existing wheels in the boot well and that fitted just fine, so on that basis I am sure what they're selling will also be ok.
As for the bolt, this should do it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275879108766

Smashing, thanks!

Just to update my own thread, I finally bought a full size spare as I managed to get an original Honda Jazz one off Facebook marketplace for quite a good price. Seller had bought it new for his previous Jazz to keep as a spare and the alloy itself was unmarked. He also very kindly gave me the wheel retaining nut too.
So today I had a bit of time so created a support for the boot floor out of plywood. It's not perfect because the boot floor is raised slightly and this is because the wheel sits at an angle in the wheel well but it will do for now.
