Andrew,

Thanks for the great pictures of a task I have been contemplating. I have an extra star wheel from the parts car I'm using and plan to see how "duals" work before trying the strut approach. I had picked up the NAPA numbers from a post of Bob's but had not seen pictures of his result.

Also, thanks for the instructions on the suspension thread about making links for pictures. I'm going to try it when the next picture situation comes up.

As to spare tire wells, mine was by far the rustiest part of the car. I considered going to a flat floor, but wound up fabricating a new well which is functional but will look a lot better with a generous dose of undercoating.

My 444 came from the barn with one of those a space saver spare tires. I think would be an option for limping home and would be easy to stash in trunk without the well.
