- MY12.5 Maloo R8, MY12 Redline ute, Magnum 224
A couple of members asked about this, so this is for @abuch47 and @Hq King .
VE/VF Redline ute's aren't fitted with spare wheels, just an inflation kit.
Holden don't have a 'ute suitable' spare wheel that will fit over Brembo's, and attach to the standard Holden ute spare wheel hoist.
But HSV do! I think Maloo spares are standard fitment on R8's, but an option on standard Maloo's.
My Maloo spends most of its time stored in the garage, as I tend to lose my licence when I drive it.
So my Magnum is my daily. Not too keen on the inflation kit, as I do a few long drives, so I wondered if I could swap everything over...
Removed the spare from the Maloo, removed 4 nuts attaching the winch, and basically, that's it.
The Maloo did have 5 rubber pads glued to the underside of the tray that the spare bears against when its locked in position. So, off to Bunnings, bought a small sheet of 3.2mm rubber and contact adhesive, and applied them to the Magnum.
The pics should explain everything, with the part numbers required. I expect buying everything from HSV would be horribly expensive, so wreckers may be the best source.
Generic HSV 20"x8.5" spare wheel.
Installed assembly
Wheel in cover lowered on hoist
Underside view showing hoist and glued in rubber pads.
Spare in tub showing connecting spigots.
Hoist to wheel connector.
Underside of wheel tub.
Inside of tub showing spigots.
Hoist details and part number.
Tub part number.
I think that's everything, if you have any questions, reply to the thread, or PM me.
