I’m putting wire wheels on my 1924 touring. Does anyone have a good way to mount the spare on the back? I guess I could use a 27 carrier. Has anyone converted a wood wheel carrier to a wire wheel that might share a photo? Maybe I’m just over thinking this.
Thanks

A gooseneck is the easiest way if you can find long enuf spring clamps. Wood wheel carrier would probably require you to disconnect the body to install it.

Yea, the gooseneck was what I was thinking, too.

This goose neck comes with adapters for wood or wire wheels https://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-T-Ford-S ... SwJhhfR~-B Price is low (view USD not Canadian Dollars.) $57.80 bid and $70.09 shipping USD Ends is 16 hours I almost bought it for the price

The gooseneck by itself holds a wire wheel - no adapter needed. The other Y shaped piece is attached to the short bracket and fits 21 inch wheels.

That's a "spool" for Runabouts & Coupes Frank - the "gooseneck" is for Tourings & Sedans and are completely different shape.

Steep learning curve. I thought the first picture in the ad was a goose neck. Also I added a picture that shows a bracket on the end of the neck - not sure if that's normal or if this is some aftermarket accessory of the day so is this a different style - hard to tell from pictures

The bracket is not needed. That is just something the previous owner attached.

The wire wheel attaches to the gooseneck in the lower picture. No other parts needed. There originally were three thin
nuts to attach the wheel. I just used two extra lugnuts and the locking lugnut to hold the masterlock.
