Default spare tire cover

Does anyone have the dimensions or a template for the foam cover over the spare tire? My foam has disintegrated. Just have the plastic cover with what's left of the foam stuck to the bottom. I was going to get a similar foam but if anyone has already done this, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks,

W

Hey Wil,
I am in the same boat as you. Please post what you end up doing as I may do the same. ALSO, check out Jerry Feather's spare tire cover as an updated alternative: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...re-covers.html
Cheers,
Rick

I have had Jerry's cover for some time now, and its a better alternative. More robust, looks better in black. Before that I recovered the original in 1/2" blue foam from a bed roll type stuff, but it didnt look right.

You need some stickers for that piece of unobtanium.

Do you sell that foam, Mark? How much? And is there an equivalent foam pad on the other side too, I can't remember...
Thanks!

That looks familiar. Thanks for the pic Mark. How thick is the foam? That has some kind of rubberized backing to it as well right?
