FS typ44 FULL SIZE spare tire (trunk floor) formed cover



For sale: i have a trunk floor cover (cover that fits over the spare tire) 
from a '86 5kTQ.
this cover has a bulge molded into it, to accomodate a full size spare tire, 
and fits all type 44's '84-'91, turbo, or not.  p-mail me if interested. 

from what i understand,  is when they came out w/ the 5kTQ in '86, Audi 
thought they had to run a full size spare because of the quattro.  this was 
later found to not be totally necessary, so they went back to the mickey 
mouse spare in '87.  
But for those of you who have had to drive on a mickey mouse for quite some 
time, it's not a fun experience. especially in my case where i have 16" A4/A8 
wheels on my 5kT.   Three big 16" alloys and one little skinny 15" donut is 
pretty scary.  anyway, every type 44 has room for a full size spare in the 
trunkwell, so i'd suggest moving up to a full size for more safety.  you can 
come across an used alloy pretty cheap, and use that for a spare, also.
