I would also try to get rid of the moth ball smell by a good
old airing out if the weather permits. It is deep in the fabric and no
solution will make it go away fast. It usually is only the smell of
naptha. With wheels, my extra spare for the 71 is a old (dates
unknown) ford truck wheel. And my extra extra spares are the
dougnuts found in newer cars. A tire shop was throwing them away and
gave them to me. They had zero miles on them and still held pressure.
(sometimes parts are everywhere you just have to ask) They are 16 inch rims
and fit perfectly on the imperial hub and bolts. I have never driven
on them but use them when working with the tires and wheels off for
an extended time for safety. They would be ideal light weight spares when
going to pick up a resto on a trailer. David Norris, 71 4dr-
