[Healeys] "Block assembly -spare wheel retaing"

[Per Schoerner]

Simon
I think it depends more on what dimension your spare tire is. Originally 
the spare tire was located, as you say, under the wooden blocks. But 
today we use fatter tires and it doesn't work as intended anymore. I 
would move the block, or cut it if only a small cut would be needed.
I don't have a spare tire, thus no wooden blocks either. I have a small 
compressor and an extra tube instead.
